Creative Commons. What is free software? The Free Software Definition Have a question about free software licensing not answered here?
See our other licensing resources, and if necessary contact the FSF Compliance Lab at licensing@fsf.org. “Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. As our society grows more dependent on computers, the software we run is of critical importance to securing the future of a free society.
Free software is about having control over the technology we use in our homes, schools and businesses, where computers work for our individual and communal benefit, not for proprietary software companies or governments who might seek to restrict and monitor us. The Free Software Foundation exclusively uses free software to perform its work. The Free Software Foundation is working to secure freedom for computer users by promoting the development and use of free (as in freedom) software and documentation—particularly the GNU operating system—and by campaigning against threats to computer user freedom like Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) and software patents.
