In the context of HP NonStop systems, "OSS" stands for "Open System Services".
See any of the manuals that Joachim pointed to:

But when someone creates a library called 'libfloss', and it means something
different than "Free/Libre Open Source Software", I get the feeling that the
confusion (or pun) is intended.
