    this is weird. in my circles, FOSS refers exclusively to Free Software. I've never heard it used in a way that mixes it with non-free but OSS software. people contrast FOSS with OSS to mean "possible licensing conflicts because the corporate policy disallows copyleft licenses" and the like. whereas, they use OSS to mean "totally kosher to use regardless of corporate policy". I might just work in more licensing sensitive positions though.

      If you just mean Free Software which preserves all four fundamental software freedoms, the correct term is Free Software or Free (libre) Software. Open Source is a corporate plot to dilute software freedom by conflating it with mere source availability.

        oh yeah, for sure. I just meant that FOSS is generally only used to describe Free Software. the acronym isn't great but I think the intent is the same.
