===Debian Free Software Guidelines===
The DFSG was first published together with the first version of the [[Debian Social Contract]] in July 1997.<ref name="1997-msg00017">{{cite web|author=Bruce Perens|url=http://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/debian-announce-1997/msg00017.html|title=Debian's "Social Contract" with the Free Software Community|work=debian-announce mailing list|date=1997-07-04}}</ref> The primary author was [[Bruce Perens]], with input from the Debian developers during a month-long discussion on a private mailing list, as part of the larger Debian Social Contract. Perens was copied to an email discussion between Ean Schuessler (then of Debian) and Donnie Barnes of Red Hat, in which Schuessler accused Red Hat of never elucidating its social contract with the Linux community. Perens realized that Debian did not have any formal social contract either, and immediately started creating one. The (then) Three Freedoms, which preceded the drafting and promulgation of the DFSG, were unknown to its authors.<ref>Bruce Perens: "[http://news.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1129863&cid=26875815 when I had to write license guidelines for Debian, the Four Freedoms document was unknown.]"</ref>

As [[Netscape]] released the open-source [[Mozilla]] browser in 1998, [[Bruce Perens]] again drafted a set of open-source guidelines to go with the release.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Overly |first1=Michael R. |title=The Open Source Handbook |date=2003 |publisher=Pike & Fischer |isbn=978-0-937275-12-2 |page=5 |language=en}}</ref> It has been claimed that the Open Source Definition was created by re-titling the exact text of the DFSG.
A modified version of this definition was adopted by the [[Open Source Initiative]] (OSI) as the Open Source Definition.<ref name="b733"/><ref>{{cite book | last=Katz | first=Andrew | title=Open Source Law, Policy and Practice |chapter=Everything Open | publisher=Oxford University Press | year=2022 | isbn=978-0-19-260687-7 | chapter-url=https://academic.oup.com/book/44727/chapter/378969640 |page=521 }}</ref> The OSI uses the label "open source", rather than "free software", because it felt that the latter term had undesirable ideological and political freight, and it wanted to focus on the pragmatic and business-friendly arguments for [[open-source software]].<ref name="b733"/> It adopted a closed rather than membership-driven organizational model in order to draft the definition and work together with a wider variety of stakeholders than other free or open-source projects.<ref name="b733"/>
Once the DFSG became the Open Source Definition, [[Richard Stallman]] saw the need to differentiate [[free software]] from [[Open-source software|open source]] and promoted the Free Software Definition.<ref>{{cite web|author=Richard Stallman|author-link=Richard Stallman|url=https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html|title=Why "Open Source" misses the point of Free Software|work=GNU website}}</ref>
