Others use the term &ldquo;FOSS,&rdquo; which stands for &ldquo;Free and Open Source Software.&rdquo; This is meant to mean the same thing as &ldquo;FLOSS,&rdquo; but it is less clear, since it fails to explain that &ldquo;free&rdquo; refers to freedom. It also makes &ldquo;free software&rdquo; less visible than &ldquo;open source,&rdquo; since it presents &ldquo;open source&rdquo; prominently but splits &ldquo;free software&rdquo; apart.
