The term Free vs Freeware is not clear

I have no strong preference in either term, but would like to use whichever term consistently. "Free xxxx" was winning for subcats when we started re-categorizing some software. And the parent cat is "Free software." That is the only reason why I chose it. Perhaps we just need explanatory text in each category, as I had in Category:Free integrated development environments (perhaps linking to the licenses that the software will fall under & maybe a definition on "free" (though that is explained in the parent cat))? Otherwise, I think we should ask for all the cats to be renamed & that sounds like it would start a fight with people who do care about what term above the other.

(Parenthetically: "open source," itself, is somewhat ambiguous. Pine and Scilab come included with source, but aren't considered "free" by gnu or DFSG or "open source" by OSI. --Karnesky 17:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SQLite

Per your comment, I still don't see why the bug merits inclusion: any bug fixed in 3.3.4 will be the only release that contains that bugfix. While the concurrency bug with temp tables is concerning, I don't think there is any point documenting specific bugfixes in the Wikipedia article for SQLite: it doesn't seem very relevant, particularly if you're not already using SQLite (which is likely the main audience of the article).
