FOSS according to wikipedia.

FOSS is an acronym for free and open source software that is most often used in English-speaking military software communities.The acronym was first used in a 2003 MITRE report that documented widespread use of, and reliance on, free software and open source software in the United States Department of Defense.

Some examples of FOSS: OpenOffice, WordPress, Apache(the webserver your website is probably running on), Linux, Apache, MySQl, PHP even the Sociable plugin with muti.co.za.
