| Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy,
| distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it
| refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of 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.
