From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [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}, after which it became
     swiftly obsolete.
