“Free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech”, not as in “free beer”.

Free software, as defined by the Free Software Foundation, is software which can be used, copied, studied, modified and redistributed with little or no restriction beyond the requirement that source code must be made available.

Freedoms

  • The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
  • The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
  • The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
  • The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

There's no such thing as free software (And it's a good thing, too)

Free speech law does not construct a realm of human behavior free from state-backed ideology; it is a state-backed ideology. Free software is not free from "intellectual property" law; it rests squarely upon it. And, to borrow (steal shamelessly, actu
