Arun,
You could read the page http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html for a clearer understanding of the relationship between the Free Software movement and Open Source movement.

Dear Arun,
Why not ? That is atleast far better than using totally propreitary systems which does not come with any source at all right ?
according to the Open Source Definition and the definition of free software given by the Free Software movement, both are one and the same. But its all about what the people in each of these two movements say about the software.
same ? I gotta read the philosophy.hml again. I was under the impressions Open-source is a more loose-expression wheras Free would be anything that is GPLed..
