If someone is making & distributing software under GPL license, I think he
already knows that by mentioning it as 'open source' or 'free & opensource'
he is giving 'false' information.
He must be thinking that by mentioning 'open source' he is helping a non-tech
person understand difference between freeware & 'free software'.
But, actually by merging the meaning of 'open-source' & 'free software', he
is sowing seeds of confusion in the non-tech users mind.
In order to stick with facts & also help non-tech person understand the
difference, one can state something like 'Its not just open-source, Its Free
Software' and give a link to definition of Free Software.
