From Jargon File (4.2.3, 23 NOV 2000) [jargon]:
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}.
