There's a key difference: nfts deal with ownership on the blockchain, whereas foss deals with ownership legally. Nfts are just a token and a url. Turning an anything into an nft just means you have certificate saying you own the original "authentic" copy, but in no way limits people from viewing, modifying or distributing the source.
