[CoLoCo] RMS interview.

[Jim Hutchinson]

This paragraph helps.

"Nearly all open source software is free software; the two terms
describe almost the same category of software. But they stand for
views based on fundamentally different values. Open source is a
development methodology; free software is a social movement. For the
free software movement, free software is an ethical imperative,
because only free software respects the users' freedom. By contrast,
the philosophy of open source considers issues in terms of how to make
software "better"—in a practical sense only. It says that non-free
software is a suboptimal solution. For the free software movement,
however, non-free software is a social problem, and moving to free
software is the solution."

They are nearly the same most of the time but focus on different
problems - practical vs social. As I noob I've always seen it as both
not one or the other.
