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.

 Introduction: The Free Speech Rulebook
The free speech rulebook creates two levels of human thought and action: the popular level and the "rulebook" level.
When we talk about "free speech", we are not referring to a tangible thing but to a set of rules implemented by human agreement.
In every area of human enterprise, there are huge gaps between ideas and their implementation, and the free speech rulebook is no different.

 Introduction to the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment
A community in which free speech is valued and protected is likely to be a more energized, creative society as its citizens actively fulfill themselves in many diverse and interesting ways.
Which of the values served by the Free Speech Clause to you consider to be the most important?
The Balancing Approach sees the Absolutist Approach as impracticable and the Categorical Approach as artificial.

 Freedom of speech - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martinez, 416 U.S. Critics of this view argue that there is no inherent reason to find speech to be a fundamental right compared with countless other activities that might be regarded as a part of autonomy or that could advance self-fulfillment.
The development of the Internet opened new possibilities for achieving freedom of speech using methods that do not depend on legal measures.
Pseudonymity and data havens (such as Freenet) allow free speech, as the technology guarantees that material cannot be removed (censored).

 Free Speech . . . under attack
The 6-to-3 decision in the Brand X case will likely change the face of the Internet as we know it.
The Brand X decision will badly weaken the foundation of the Internet as an open marketplace for new ideas, competitive services, and the free flow of information.
Also according to the New York Times, the final question the FBI agents ask is this: Does the interviewee know that withholding information on whether they know anyone else who might be planning a demonstration or "disruption" is itself a crime?

 Ars Technica: Is code free speech? - Page 1 (4/99)
Is a computer program a form of speech?
Let's consider a simple theory of speech, as illustrated with an example, and see how this plays itself out.
The government, on the other hand, is arguing that source code is a device just like circuitry, not a form of speech.

 Atheism and Intraorganizational Free Speech
GCRH mistakenly supposes that they could not be wrong about humanistic values.[4] Yet they can be.
What position should atheists take on freedom of speech?
However, it might be argued that on these grounds there are strong reasons to silence some speech since some speech is harmful.

 Berkeley Free Speech Movement, 1963-64
But in most disciplines teaching assistants and many faculty canceled classes to express support or to free themselves and their students to work for a solution of the crisis.
That way, the bust would still be going on at the time classes resumed in the morning, and uncommitted students, on the way to lectures and labs, would observe the cops manhandling their fellow students.
The Free Speech leaders now began spreading the word that students should go limp to slow down the removal process.

 INDUCE Act is Free Speech Killer: Corante > Copyfight >
Various speech "acts" have been found relevant to a finding of inducement, such as advertising infringement or instructions on how to infringe.
For example, much speech that induces infringement also induces fair use.
Ohio, crime advocating speech may be punished only if such speech is "directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action." [emphasis added] There is nothing in this statute that distinguishes mere advocacy from incitement.

 Reason
These Orwellian "free speech zones" are typically far away from the venue where the visiting President is appearing, so that he can enjoy a Potemkin village experience in which he sees only an adoring populace through his limousine windows.
When the far Left The Progressive and far Right The American Conservative both decry the creation of free speech zones into which protesters are corralled whenever the President comes to a town, one should pay attention.
Campaigns are also when Americans are most politically engaged, most eager to speak their minds.

 Free Speech 101 - Wartime censorship is alive and well and living on campus. By Dahlia Lithwick
In the firing cases, the state will be represented by the courts, which will reinstate faculty fired for no reason other than unpopular views.
A year later, on college campuses, we are still suspending professors and beating up students with unpopular viewpoints.
Free speech does not encompass the right to fire, suspend, or riot your way into a universe in which everyone agrees with your views, even if you have legitimate grievances.

 1st Amendment and Free Speech: hate speech
In the US is is extremely difficult to pass hate speech legislation because most such laws would violate the First Amendment guarentee to free speech.
