Even if you found individuals involved with the FSFE who believe that
Free Software and Open Source are the same movements, that is not the
FSFE position: http://fsfe.org/documents/whyfs.html

You may also find people involved with the FSF who think like that,
anyone can be wrong. But finding many people being wrong never was a
good argument anyway. ;)
