When I started my journey in FOSS I came very much in on the Open Source side of the portmanteau.
I've moved over to the Free Software side. The organisations that represent our communities have let us down, badly.
As I said in mirror mirror:
"Some of us, who were attracted to FOSS for explicitly ethical, and political reasons appear to have misunderstood what the movement was about."

With the recent #OSI election shenanigans, the fairy tale of FOSS is over.
