If he's fighting on your side he is a freedom fighter, if he's
fighting against your side he's a terrorist.
As an example: in France during WWII we dropped radios,
guns and dynamite from airplanes at night to be picked up by
French Resistance Fighters, they were heroes to everyone in
the US Uk and a lot of people in France, but to the Germans
and the Vichy French (friendly with the Germans) they were terrorists (back in those days they were called guerrilla fighters) and whenever they were caught they were executed in public, as was anyone who hid them or helped them.

Terrorists target civilians and civilian targets, IRA, Al qieda, etc.
Freedom fighters fight against tyranny, PKK, Falange, etc.
Designating a group as one or the other is subjective, and usually along political lines. If for instance the EU or USA have an interest in that particular area then right & wrong does not nessessarily dictate the correct designation.

As the old saying goes 'one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter'.

Quite simply, a freedom fighter only purposefully attacks government agencies and the military. A terrorist indiscriminately attacks civilians and children, as well as the local military and government agencies.

There is no difference. We call them terrorists and they call themselves freedom fighters.
