Free software gices the rights of the software to the entire community of the world. A licence that provides free software is the GPL licence. Open Source is invariably just available source code. There are many different licences from Apache to Mozilla none of them worth while. "Nonsense!" I hear you say - but it's true. The only worthwhile "open source" licence is one that makes the software source code free to eveyone in the world. Open source licences that don't do that are poisonous. If it was a rhetorical question I apologise for the diatribe. Also I don't want to start a debate on this list about free software. Go to the GNU site or surf arounbd if you want more info.
