Personally, I don't use the term "Open Source" to describe free software any more, even though most of my free software activity has been in corporate environment. I call it free software, or free software in business, because Open Source turns out be really cr@ppy marketing, which is what you'd expect from the geeks who cooked it up.

Businesses end up taking advantage of "freeness" more than of "Open Sourceness".
