I still run Debian, but am increasingly tempted to give a serious shot
to a systemd-free OS like Devuan.

Of course, FSF does claim that "free" and "open source" are different.
But they don't claim that permissive licenses, as a type, are not free.
By your definition, Linux would not be FOSS, since the kernel is
licensed under the GPL version 2, and subject to Tivoization. The FSF
came up with the term "Tivoization" in response to the kernel's license.
