<p>The free software movement is a world
wide effort that campaigns for the
creation, use, and adoption of free
software. 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
meal”. We also refer to it as
”swantantra software“ to
clarify that the software respects
your freedom and is not necessarily
gratis.</p>
<p>Free software entitles users to
<a href="//gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">four
essential freedoms</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>The freedom to run the program as
they wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).</li>
<li>The freedom to study how the
program works, and change it so it
does their computing as they wish
(freedom 1). Access to the source code
is a precondition for this.</li>
<li>The freedom to redistribute copies
so they can help others (freedom 2).</li>
<li>The freedom to distribute copies
of their modified versions to others
(freedom 3). By doing this they can
give the whole community a chance to
benefit from their changes. Access to
the source code is a precondition for
this.</li>
</ul>
