It was only that day, I realized

So in my case the ideology happened after 5 years of using the software. :-)
In essence, Free software and Open Source software mean the same thing.
They dont mean the same thing all though they refer to the same body of software.
"Open source" is just used to market "Free software".
That is very apt summary. And as usual Marketing will focus on features that make a sale, completely ignoring other vital params that actually bring value.
