I believe Luke meant the distinction between open source and Free Software as
discussed in https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html

Technically though, programs that conform to the FSF's definition of Free
Software[1] will also conform to OSI definition of Open Source[2]; so a program
can't really be free software but not open source.
