Apple â The Competent Danger to Free Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Free has nothing to do with price, instead
| it stands for âFREEDOMâ or âLIBERTYâ,
| meaning that the end-user should be free to
| use the software, modify the software, and
| pass on their modifications. There is no
| reason why free software cannot be sold, as
| long as the four freedoms are respected.
| Those freedoms are:
|
| * The freedom to run the program, for
| any purpose (freedom 0).
| * The freedom to study how the program
| works, and change it to make it do what
| you wish (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 distribute copies of
| your modified versions to others
| (freedom 3). By doing this you can give
| the whole community a chance to benefit
| from your changes. Access to the source
| code is a precondition for this.
|
| While many people consider Open Source to
| be equivalent to Free Software, it isnât.
| Open Source is a software design
| methodology, which is claimed to produce
| better software, while Free Software is a
| philosophical equivalent to the Freedom of
| Speech clause found in many countries
| constitutions.
