Yes, because that’s literally what the acronym stands for.
I’m even more confused. it means “Free and Open Source Software” everywhere I can find and I’ve only ever heard it in contrast with OSS, especially by license conscious devs who want to avoid copyleft.
Avoiding copyleft is an act of violence
I work for a paycheck not because I like the positions the companies I work with take. personally? yes, I wish we outlawed everything else.
No, FOSS means Free and Open Source Software.
It is used to refer to software that is both free and open source.
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. Open Source means Open Source. FOSS refers to software that are both of those things.
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.
