FRS // n.,obs. Abbreviation for "Freely Redistributable Software" which
   entered general use on the Internet in 1995 after years of low-level
   confusion over what exactly to call software written to be passed around
   and shared (contending terms including {freeware}, {shareware}, and
   `sourceware' were never universally felt to be satisfactory for various
   subtle reasons). The first formal conference on freely redistributable
   software was held in Cambridge, Massachussetts, in February 1996
   (sponsored by the Free Software Foundation). The conference organizers
   used the FRS abbreviation heavily in its calls for papers and other
   literature during 1995. The term was in steady though not common use
   until 1998 and the invention of {open source}, after which it became
   swiftly obsolete.
