Free Software is Open Source, but Open Source is not necessarily Free Software.

You're wrong and probably mistaking these terms with copyleft and permissive licenses. Both of these kinds of licenses are both Free Software and Open Source.

In practice, pretty much every Open Source license is also Free Software license and vice versa (there are some very nitpicky exceptions, but I guarantee they're not where you'd expect them to be).
