In software, open and free essentially mean the same thing (despite their
philosophical differences). In other areas, open has become virtually
meaningless.

"Open standard" is frequently used to refer to RAND licensing. According to
some, it's open as long as the discrimination is only against those who
can't afford the membership/license fees.
