I found this article interesting and useful <https://opensource.com/business/16/11/open-source-not-free-software> This guy disagrees: <https://meshedinsights.com/2017/06/07/free-vs-open/>

imho, it is semantics / point of view.. my own pov (ymmv): Truly free and truly open is everything BSD licensed (including my own BSD released code/projects/software) my GPL etc licensed software is open, and free if you are only a user, but not so much free if you are a dev, etc. :) otherwise it is open and sometimes (depending on your own pov (as a user/luser/dev/etc) free and sometimes only open and not free, etc. So, basically, both links above are somewhat correct and somewhat wrong, all at the same time :) Andre
