IIRC, Once upon a time, it was like that. "Open source" meant "source is 
available at no cost". "Free-as-in-freedom software" meant "A superset of 
'open-source', plus other freedoms such as redistro." I think a lot of the 
people that got into the Linux/OSS/Slashdot/etc scenes in the last few years 
never actually learned the difference and thus go running around equating 
"open source" with GPL/zlib/BSD/etc.
