| | The Free Universal Encyclopedia and Learning Resource - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF) |
| | To ensure that the encyclopedia is indeed free, all software included in articles and courses should meet the criteria of free software (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) and open source software (http://www.opensource.org). | | | But we should keep in the back of our minds, while doing this, the vision of a free encyclopedia that is universal in scope--so that we can firmly reject any attempt to put artificial limits on either the scope or the free status of the encyclopedia. | | | But if we want to keep human knowledge open and freely available to humanity, we have to do the work to make it available that way. |

| | Debian -- What Does Free Mean? |
| | Many people new to free software find themselves confused because the word "free" in the term "free software" is not used the way they expect. | | | While free software is not totally free of constraints (only putting something in the public domain does that) it gives the user the flexibility to do what they need in order to get work done. | | | To the uninitiated, either a piece of software is free or it isn't. |

| | The 46 Best-ever Freeware Utilities |
| | There is a free and a pro version, the only difference being that the free version has a few non-critical features disabled and has no direct technical support. | | | Unfortunately the free Home version was recently discontinued by the developer in favor of a new product Prevx1 for which there is no free version only a free beta [2]. | | | Unfortunately the free version of Ewido doesnt have a memory monitor and this omission significantly reduces the level of active protection provided. |

| | Pascal programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Free Pascal is written in Pascal (so that it compiles itself), and is aimed at providing a convenient and powerful compiler, able both to compile legacy applications and to be the means of develop new ones. | | | Pascal is an imperative computer programming language, developed in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth as a language particularly suitable for structured programming. | | | The first Pascal compiler was designed in Zurich for the CDC 6000 computer family, and it became operational in 1970. |

| | Variable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Variables are useful in mathematics and computer programming because they allow instructions to be specified in a general way. | | | This is analogous to the use of variables in the mathematics and variables in computer programming work usually in the similar manner. | | | In programming languages, a variable can be thought of as a place to store a value in computer memory. |

| | Free content - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This ambiguity in the word free can create confusion, especially since many (but by no means all) free content works are also available at no charge. | | | To be considered free content, a work must allow modification and redistribution. | | | Free content licenses generally differ from open content licenses in that they require a "source" copy of the content to be provided. |

| | Free variables and bound variables - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | z is a free variable and x and y are bound variables; consequently the truth-value of this expression depends on the value of z, but there is nothing called x or y on which it could depend. | | | In mathematics, and in other disciplines involving formal languages, including mathematical logic and computer science, a free variable is a notation for a place or places in an expression, into which some definite substitution may take place, or with respect to which some operation (summation or quantification, to give two examples) may take place. | | | Variables bound at the top level of a program are technically free variables within the terms to which they are bound but are often treated specially because they can be compiled as fixed addresses. |
