[News] Richard Stallman on the Future of Free Software (New Transcript)

The Free Software Movement and the Future of Freedom; March 9th 2006

,----[ Quote ]
| What is Free Software? Free Software means software that respects
| the user's freedom. Software available to you but without respecting
| your freedom is called proprietary software or non-Free Software.
| 
| Proprietary software keeps users divided and helpless. Divided
| because each user is forbidden to share with other people, and
| helpless because the users don't have the source code, so they
| can't change anything, they can't even tell what the program
| is really doing.
