- There are 4 basic freedoms of Free Software.
* -1. Freedom to pick the fruit.
* 0. Freedom to grow your own GNU tree from the Linux Kernel in the fruit.
* 1. Freedom to drink the Free Beer (or Mango-Banana Frothy Fruity Juice) inside the fruit
* 2. Freedom to change the fruit and share the Free Beer (or the Mango-Banana Frothy Fruity Juice).
* 3. Freedom to add other basic freedoms in the 4 basic freedoms list.

- The phrase "free software" in a computer science and programming sense, refers to a style of software that is relatively unencumbered by commercial interests, both with respect to monetary policy, and intellectual freedom to modify and explore how a program works by digging through its source code.
- Free software, (also called software libre or libre software) is software that can be used, studied, and modified without restriction, and which can be copied and redistributed in modified or unmodified form either without restriction, or with minimal restrictions only to ensure that further recipients can also do these things and that manufacturers of consumer-facing hardware allow user modifications to their hardware. Free software is generally available without charge, but can have a fee.
- Free Software is software that is licensed under a Free Software License. Richard Stallman started the Free Software Foundation to promote free software and the GPL License.
- Free Software is software that can be downloaded free, and contains the following template:
- The Free software ideology is an idea that all software should respect the users' freedoms, namely:
* The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
* The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
* The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
* The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
- Free software or software libre is software that can be used, studied, and modified without restriction, and which can be copied and redistributed in modified or unmodified form either without restriction, or with minimal restrictions only to ensure that further recipients can also do these things. In practice, for software to be distributed as free software, the human readable form of the program (the "source code") must be made available to the recipient along with a notice granting the above permissions. Such a notice is a "free software licence", or, in theory, could be a notice saying that the source code is released into the public domain.

- Free software or software libre is software that can be used, studied, and modified without restriction, and which can be copied and redistributed in modified or unmodified form either without restriction, or with minimal restrictions only to ensure that further recipients can also do these things. In practice, for software to be distributed as free software, the human readable form of the program (the "source code") must be made available to the recipient along with a notice granting the above permissions. Such a notice is a "free software licence", or, in theory, could be a notice saying that the source code is released into the public domain. The free software movement was conceived in 1983 by Richard Stallman to make these freedoms available to every computer user. From the late 1990s onward, alternative terms for free software came into use. "Open source software" is the most common such alternative term. Others include "software libre", "free, libre and open-source software" ("FOSS", or, with "libre", "FLOSS"). The antonym of free software is "proprietary software" or non-free software. Free software is distinct from "freeware" which is proprietary software made available free of charge. Users usually cannot study, modify, or redistribute freeware. Since free software may be freely redistributed, it generally is available at little or no cost. Free software business models are usually based on adding value such as support, training, customization, integration, or certification. At the same time, some business models which work with proprietary software are not compatible with free software, such as those that depend on a user paying for a licence in order to lawfully use a software product.

* The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. Free software, that is, is software that respects these freedoms. This is the definition of the Free Software Foundation, an organization dedicated to protecting and promoting free software among users. One of their most known projects is the <a href="http://gnu.org">http://gnu.org</a> GNU operating system.
