;Lead
*"Free software licences and open source licenses are used by many software packages." Such as what? Why does the article say nothing about the market penetration of any of the leading FOSS software, or indeed even name them?
;History
Line 15 ⟶ 18:
*The penultimate paragraph is uncited.
;Naming
*I'm unconvinced by this section, which largely just seems to add a little detail to what has been cobered in the History section with a number of far too short paragraphs.
*"The first known use of the phrase free open source software on Usenet was in a posting on 18 March 1998, just a month after the term open source itself was coined" is cited to [http://groups.google.com/groups/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&num=10&q=%22free+open+source+software%22&safe=off&qt_s=Search&as_drrb=b&as_mind=1&as_minm=1&as_miny=1981&as_maxd=1&as_maxm=6&as_maxy=1998 this url]. In what way does it support the claim? The best you can say is that it's the earliest use of the phrase on Usenet that ''you've'' found, which is at best original research.

;Adoption by governments
*This section is very choppy, with lots of very short paragraphs. It needs to be organised thematically; for instance, which governments have adopted Linux (of whatever flavour), other open-source software like OpenOffice, or perhaps categorise by office applications vs non, such as Apache and MySql, neither of which are mentioned strangely.
