The question is that open software and open knowledge are not so close as open knowledge and open data and open content, for instance.
Maybe I'm misreading the "not so close" part, but just in case:
Free software is a subset of free knowledge, and a very important one for Wikimedia since all our content is digital. Free knowledge run by non-free software is captive, as many open initiatives dismissing this point have learned the hard way. We can't take for granted that free software will be always available and maintained either. This is why we need to take the collaboration with free software initiatives vital to us as seriously as the collaboration with other open knowledge initiatives.
