Thanks to Joost, I added a new category of Non-IE users, with links to
the Dutch GNU explanation:
"Gebruikers die vrije software prefereren boven gesloten[4] software." 

With footnote (4):
"In dit document gebruik ik de term gesloten software om te verwijzen
naar alle software die geen vrije software is, zoals uitgelegd in
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.nl.html. Gesloten software wordt
vaak uitgedrukt als closed source en proprietary ."

A few times i use the general term open standards as an umbrella for
open source, communication, standards and protocols. In section 3
(http://www.lacocina.nl/rabo/ar01s03.html) I give a more detailed
explanation. Is this what you mean?
