Free software

Software is considered free if it gives you four basic freedoms:

  1. run the program as you wish, for any purpose;
  2. study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish;
  3. redistribute copies so you can help others;
  4. distribute copies of your modified versions to others.
