Free Software?
“It's Free Software and it gives you freedom!” Software Freedom
 * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose
 * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (access to the source code is a precondition for this)
 * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbour
 * The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits. Access to the source code is a precondition for this
 * Free software saves money, is easy to use and can keep older computers running longer
 * Invite GNU and Tux to come and live at your school, house or business by installing a free operating system on old or new computers - it's easy - anyone can do it!
