Explanation
Open Source Software makes the source code of the software available to customers, and it can be modified and redistributed without limitations. It may be available for free or for a nominal charge. In contrast, free software is freely accessible and can be used, changed, improved, copied, and distributed by anyone without any restrictions or payments. Therefore, open-source software and free software are not the same.
