Free softwareFree software Users' have freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change
and improve the software.
More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom– 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.
