Supporting Free Software

by Kevin B. O'Brien

The words we use to describe what we do can matter a lot in how we in the FOSS community think about what we do. Once upon a time, there was Free Software, as defined by Richard Stallman in the famous Four Freedoms:

The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).

The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (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 distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
