Free software vs open source

Hello,
Google told me:
Quote:
Open source emphasizes the practical benefits of transparency, collaboration, and the ability to modify and distribute software freely. Free software emphasizes the philosophical and ethical aspects of software freedom focusing on users' rights to control and modify the software they use.
With free software, users can also see the source code, so why was open source created?

Thank you.
