5. What is
free
software?
A program is free software if the program's users have the
four essential freedoms:
The freedom to run the program as you wish, 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.
