Free and open source means the software is being offered for free.
A lot of times software packages and they're inherent future releases are part of a paid for package even if it's Open Source.
Common mistake.

It's seems to be over my head. If I see a code of a product, it's viewable, source verifiable, but not OSS? If I can take the code and use it for other things, it's FOSS? But what is OSS without an F? OpenSource software is..? Must be free to use and change to be called OSS?
OSS = you can use it for other things
FOSS = you can download for free
Source Viewable/Verifiable = you'll get sued if you use it for other things
