RMS likes to characterize Open Source as *just* about better engineering and Free Software as about freedom.
While I agree OSI doesn't *emphasize* freedom as strongly as FSF, I don't think it is correct to say open source is *not* about freedom. It seems the open source definition is big enough to include people who use it for better quality AS WELL as people that like the freedom. If you don't believe me, just read the OSI's definition of what constitutes open source. It is impossible for an OSI license to *NOT* provide freedom. Hence, OSI believes and supports freedom. And by the way, the GPL is OSI approved if you didn't know. So that is why it is possible to be a freedom and GPL fan while still using the term 'open source'.
