But Open Source is not Free and Open Source (superset). Langfuse is a great example of where this is the case: https://github.com/langfuse/langfuse/blob/main/LICENSE It is open source, but all features under the ee folder are not free, thus it is not FOSS.

Here’s the definition I use for “open source”, and here’s the one I use for “free software”. Most (all?) free software licenses meet the definition of free software, but not all open source licenses meet the definition of free software, so that’s why I tend to set that free software is a subset of open source software.
