What is Software Freedom?
Software is increasingly powering our lives. From family photos and email to web and business applications, software gives us great power to get things done. Unfortunately, too much software has restrictions upon its use, modification, and sharing.
We believe software must be free, meaning you are free to study it, modify it to suit your needs, copy the software, and distribute your changes. We call these four concepts the four freedoms and if the software you're using doesn't give you them you should look for a free alternative.
