Free as in Speech
,----[ Quote ]
| But that's still not what "free" means in the term "free software." This sort
| of "free" means "unfettered" or "free as in liberty" - it's what "free" means
| in "free speech." Or what the word "independence" means in "Independence
| Day." You're free to use this software in the way you see fit, as long as
| that way doesn't involve taking that same freedom away from others. It's free
| like a public library is free. It's ours not mine or yours. Corporate
| software companies make their millions on keep their software locked down
| and "non-free" in this sense. Every end user license agreement that we click
| through going "yeah, yeah, I know" is restricting how we use the software we
| just paid for. It's more of a rental situation, like renting a Blockbuster
| DVD except a lot more expensive.
