      Being open source is a necessary but not sufficient condition of software being Free, so Free Software already means that. FOSS is a corporate plot to conflate software that is merely open source with software that is fully Free.

          Free means Free is an empty tautology that means nothing.

          Free means software which preserves your four fundamental software freedoms: the freedom to run the program as you wish, the freedom to study and modify the program, the freedom to redistribute the program, and the freedom to distribute your modifications to the program.

          Open source only protects part of the second freedom.

            You know what? I thought the “Free” in FOSS meant only free as in free beer, while the Open Source part was the free as in free speech part, but upon further investigation I concluded that you are right. Have a nice day.
