Obviously, the OKF is going to take the view that "Open" is term here. OKF
even creates the Open Definition which is based on the Open Source
definition from OSI.

I personally go with FLO to combine these terms. Both Free and Open are
easy to be unclear what it really means, but in the context of the OKF,
everyone is going to easily get that *they* mean Open per their own
definition.
