- From the GNU web page:
Free software is a matter of freedom: people should be free to use
software in all the ways that are socially useful. Software differs
from material objects-such as chairs, sandwiches, and gasoline-in
that it can be copied and changed much more easily. These
possibilities make software as useful as it is; we believe software
users should be able to make use of them.
- Further Reference: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy
- While there is a practical difference between Open Source and
Free Software, we will not talk about that here & now. The opensource
club supports both Free Software and Opensource Software.
