In this sentence, I believe the terms "free" and "open source" need not be capitalized.

I'm not so sure about this. We capitalize "Free" to indicate that we mean "Free Software", which has a sense different from "free as no-cost". Likewise, Open Source means that we specifically follow the Open Source definition. You can see that the OSI capitalizes it here: https://opensource.org/faq#osd

It might be useful to make these links where we explain, possibly instead of capitalization. We really should have a style guide for this!

Makes sense to me! (I have no strong feeling about this, incidentally. I simply needed to find a sample documentation issue to address as a "live example" during a workshop. Feel free to close this issue without additional discussion.)

Yep :)

I do think we should write that style guide, though!
