| | Free software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Software that is not free software is known as Proprietary software. | | | The usual way for software to be distributed as free software is for the software to be accompanied by a free software license, and the source code of the software to be made available. | | | The Free Software Directory is a free software project that maintains a large database of free software packages. |

| | Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. | | | See Categories of Free Software for a description of how ``free software,'' ``copylefted software'' and other categories of software relate to each other. | | | A program is free software if users have all of these freedoms. |

| | Debian -- What Does Free Mean? |

| | ONLamp.com -- What Is Free Software |
| | Today, free software is a large body of high-quality code on which much of the internet depends for critical functions, and it constitutes the core operating system for an increasing number of desktop machines as well. | | | In the beginning, most software was free by default--free not only in the sense of "zero cost," but also in the sense of "freedom." The early computer industry was organized mainly around selling hardware, with each company offering its own unique design, incompatible with everyone else's. | | | But free software is much more than just a collection of programs. |

| | Saugus.net: Some Free Software |
| | There are even free software packages maintained by non-profit organizations set up for the purpose of creating, maintaining, and distributing free software (the most important of these is the Free Software Foundation headquartered right in Cambridge; their site is a good visit with lots of information on the principle of free and open source software). | | | Either request one of the free OSes be pre-installed when you initially buy your computer, or follow the instructions on your computer's software agreement to get a refund for the price of your pre-installed OS prior to using your computer. | | | In most cases the maintainers of free software are also users, so they have good reason to keep the software bug free. |
