Not OP, but I personally heavily dislike the confusion surrounding those terms - that is IMHO entirely self-inflicted. “Open-source” referring to FOSS as a whole, and what open-source sounds like actually being called “source available”, is needlessly confusing.
I usually write FOSS since I like acronyms, but when I speak I’d say open-source. I don’t see how open-source is any more confusing than free software, considering most people would immediately think “free as in beer”.

If only the term “free software” itself wasn’t just as confusing lol
