Isn’t Windows 10 already more or less free? You can download it on their site, install it, skip the activation and that’s it. There is a message “Activate Windows” at the bottom right of the screen but it doesn’t matter for most people I guess.

Free is not open source.

IMO it's more or less Shareware at this point.

Free as in beer does not equal open source.
