No, FLOSS and FOSS are different terms for the same thing. Both names
incorporate "Free" (in the Stallman sense) and "Open Source" software
without taking sides between the two camps. The word "Libre" is used to
distinguish between Free as in "gratis" and Free as in "Freedom", however
it is unnecessary if you understand that the "Free" in FOSS/FLOSS has a
double meaning.

I prefer the one with "Libre" as it makes me seem kind of European and
cool, but thats beside the point. They are equivalent.
