The 'real' freedom of 'free' software 

,----[ Quote ]
| The 'Free' in FOSS not only provides the freedom discussed above, but also it 
| provides individuals the freedom to learn and expand their experience, 
| education and opportunity to help others to be successful using Free and Open 
| Source Software.

GNU/Linux: What Does “Free” Mean?

,----[ Quote ]
| I have been pondering the meaning of “free” in association with Free Open 
| Source Software (FOSS) in general and GNU/Linux in particular. If one asks a 
| FOSS advocate what free means in regard to these one might hear the 
| reply, “Free as in beer!” and/or “Free as in freedom!”. While that means 
| something to the FOSS advocate it may not mean the same thing to whoever asks 
| the question. Frankly, my beer has rarely been free and furthermore what 
| is “freedom”? I think I have answers to the question in the title. Bear with 
| me while I attempt to explain what free means in relation to FOSS and  
| GNU/Linux.
