Anyhow i asked what's the difference between opensource and free
software
if free software means "freedom to use,modify,redistribute" then what
opensource refers? 

foss - free to use, modify, redistribute, but not free to make it
proprietary

oss - free to use, modify, redistribute, and free to make it proprietary
