Digital Freedom
Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study,
change and improve the software.
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.
