Although FOSS has a broad definition[1], most technical people refer to Free Software by the GNU interpretation, in which the Free in FOSS is "Free as in Freedom, not Free as in Beer". FOSS is generally considered a subset of Open Source software.

You can charge as much as you like for FOSS[2].

Open Source is not the same as Source Available[3].
