Free software tends to actually care about freedom for users.
Open source just tends to focus on the practical benefits for businesses, it doesn't care about its users. -

foss these days has turned into "open source" and it's become a corporate cost cutting measure with everything done around that...
which means the whole aspect of the community doing something to make computers *and* the society a bit better for everyone else has vanished, and we're left with this husk that's just depressing and wrong
i think the biggest mistake was thinking that we could get around that with licensing nonsense
