Free software is software that is meant to be shared. There is a strong movement behind free software that inspired other movements with its values and success.

Free software is software whose license guarantees the user the right to

  • use his tool for whatever purpose, to
  • study how it works, to
  • share it with whoever he wants (under the same conditions) and to
  • alter it (and also share the results) - to build on the work and help to improve it, for example.

There is a whole world of free software with software covering virtually every need.
