Unified reference to GNU/Linux and free software
One of the main reasons to building Maneage is to properly acknowledge/attribute the authors of software in research. So we have adopted a standard of never referring to the GNU-based operating systems running the Linux kernel simply as "Linux", we avoid terms like "Open Sourse" and use Free Software instead (in the same spirit). With this commit, a few instances of the cases above have been corrected, they had slipped through our fingers when we initially imported them into the project. In the special case of the "Journal for Open Source Software", we simply replaced it with its abbreviation (JOSS). This was done because in effect we were generally using journal name abbreviations in almost all the citations already. To avoid any inconsistancies, the names of the three other journals that weren't abbreviated are also abbreviated.
