Each one refers to a categorical software and each one refers to a philosophical movement. So there is the free software&hellip; the free software is a category of licenses. And there is the free software movement and it's philosophy. Likewise open source is a category of licenses and a philosophy. For we can compare the free software movement and the open source movement&hellip; sorry, we can compare free software as a category of software with open source as a category of software. And we can compare the free software movement philosophy with the open source philosophy. And what you find is as categories of software they are very close together. Open source is a category of licenses just as free software is a category of licenses. And these two categories are defined with very different language. But so far practically speaking they are pretty similar. There are some licenses that qualify as open source but do not qualify as free software. How ever they are not used very much. So, if you know that of certain program is open source and that's all you know, you can't be sure it's free software but it probably is free software.
