It is not clear what you mean here. There are FSF-Free licenses not
accepted by the OSI, and there are OSI-Open Source licenses not
accepted by the FSF - but in both cases they're pretty much negligible
edge cases.

The whole point of the term "open source" was to be a more marketable
term for "free software".
