14    
15     <h3>The Free Software Definition</h3>
16 webcvs 1.1
17 rms 1.110 <blockquote>
18     The free software definition presents the criteria for whether a
19     particular software program qualifies as free software. From time to
20     time we revise this definition, to clarify it or to resolve questions
21     about subtle issues. See the <a href="#History">History section</a>
22     below for a list of changes that affect the definition of free
23     software.
24     </blockquote>
25    
26     <p>
27     &ldquo;Free software&rdquo; means software that respects users'
28     freedom and community. Roughly, the users have the freedom to run,
29     copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. With these
30     freedoms, the users (both individually and collectively) control the
31     program and what it does for them.
32     </p>
33    
34 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
35 rms 1.110 When users don't control the program, the program controls the users.
36     The developer controls the program, and through it controls the users.
37     This nonfree or &ldquo;proprietary&rdquo; program is therefore an
38     instrument of unjust power.
39 sinuhe 1.48 </p>
40    
41 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
42 rms 1.110 Thus, &ldquo;free software&rdquo; is a matter of liberty, not price.
43     To understand the concept, you should think of &ldquo;free&rdquo; as
44     in &ldquo;free speech,&rdquo; not as in &ldquo;free beer&rdquo;.
45 sinuhe 1.48 </p>
46    
47 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
48 rms 1.110 A program is free software if the program's users have the
49     four essential freedoms:
50 sinuhe 1.48 </p>
51 webcvs 1.1
52 wkotwica 1.24 <ul>
53     <li>The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).</li>
54 rms 1.105 <li>The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it
55     does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source
56     code is a precondition for this.
57 sinuhe 1.48 </li>
58 wkotwica 1.24 <li>The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
59 sinuhe 1.48 (freedom 2).
60     </li>
61 rms 1.90 <li>The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions
62     to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole
63     community a chance to benefit from your changes.
64 sinuhe 1.48 Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
65     </li>
66 wkotwica 1.24 </ul>
67 webcvs 1.1
68 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
69 sinuhe 1.48 A program is free software if users have all of these freedoms. Thus,
70     you should be free to redistribute copies, either with or without
71     modifications, either gratis or charging a fee for distribution, to
72     <a href="#exportcontrol">anyone anywhere</a>. Being free to do these
73     things means (among other things) that you do not have to ask or pay
74 rms 1.88 for permission to do so.
75 sinuhe 1.48 </p>
76    
77 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
78 webcvs 1.1 You should also have the freedom to make modifications and use them
79     privately in your own work or play, without even mentioning that they
80     exist. If you do publish your changes, you should not be required to
81 sinuhe 1.48 notify anyone in particular, or in any particular way.
82     </p>
83    
84 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
85 sinuhe 1.48 The freedom to run the program means the freedom for any kind of person
86     or organization to use it on any kind of computer system, for any kind of
87     overall job and purpose, without being required to communicate about it
88     with the developer or any other specific entity. In this freedom, it is
89     the <em>user's</em> purpose that matters, not the <em>developer's</em>
90 rms 1.88 purpose; you as a user are free to run the program for your purposes,
91 sinuhe 1.48 and if you distribute it to someone else, she is then free to run it
92     for her purposes, but you are not entitled to impose your purposes on her.
93 rms 1.46 </p>
94 sinuhe 1.48
95 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
96 webcvs 1.1 The freedom to redistribute copies must include binary or executable
97 rms 1.5 forms of the program, as well as source code, for both modified and
98 sinuhe 1.48 unmodified versions. (Distributing programs in runnable form is necessary
99 rms 1.88 for conveniently installable free operating systems.) It is OK if there
100 sinuhe 1.48 is no way to produce a binary or executable form for a certain program
101     (since some languages don't support that feature), but you must have the
102     freedom to redistribute such forms should you find or develop a way to
103     make them.
104     </p>
105    
106 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
107 rms 1.88 In order for freedoms 1 and 3 (the freedom to make changes and the
108     freedom to publish improved versions) to be meaningful, you must have
109     access to the source code of the program. Therefore, accessibility of
110 rms 1.92 source code is a necessary condition for free software. Obfuscated
111     &ldquo;source code&rdquo; is not real source code and does not count
112     as source code.
113 sinuhe 1.48 </p>
114    
115 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
116 rms 1.80 Freedom 1 includes the freedom to use your changed version in place of
117     the original. If the program is delivered in a product designed to
118 rms 1.105 run someone else's modified versions but refuse to run yours &mdash; a
119     practice known as &ldquo;tivoization&rdquo; or &ldquo;lockdown&rdquo;,
120     or (in its practitioners' perverse terminology) as &ldquo;secure
121     boot&rdquo; &mdash; freedom 1 becomes a theoretical fiction rather
122     than a practical freedom. This is not sufficient. In other words,
123     these binaries are not free software even if the source code they are
124     compiled from is free.
125 rms 1.80 </p>
126    
127     <p>
128 rms 1.74 One important way to modify a program is by merging in available free
129     subroutines and modules. If the program's license says that you
130 rms 1.88 cannot merge in a suitably licensed existing module &mdash; for instance, if it
131     requires you to be the copyright holder of any code you add &mdash; then the
132 rms 1.74 license is too restrictive to qualify as free.
133 sinuhe 1.48 </p>
134    
135 novalis 1.40 <p>
136 rms 1.93 Freedom 3 includes the freedom to release your modified versions
137 rms 1.89 as free software. A free license may also permit other ways of
138     releasing them; in other words, it does not have to be
139     a <a href="/copyleft/copyleft.html">copyleft</a> license. However, a
140     license that requires modified versions to be nonfree does not qualify
141     as a free license.
142     </p>
143    
144     <p>
145 rms 1.79 In order for these freedoms to be real, they must be permanent and
146     irrevocable as long as you do nothing wrong; if the developer of the
147 rms 1.111 software has the power to revoke the license, or retroactively add
148     restrictions to its terms, without your doing anything wrong to give
149     cause, the software is not free.
150 sinuhe 1.48 </p>
151    
152 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
153 webcvs 1.1 However, certain kinds of rules about the manner of distributing free
154     software are acceptable, when they don't conflict with the central
155     freedoms. For example, copyleft (very simply stated) is the rule that
156     when redistributing the program, you cannot add restrictions to deny
157     other people the central freedoms. This rule does not conflict with
158 sinuhe 1.48 the central freedoms; rather it protects them.
159     </p>
160    
161     <p>
162 joeko 1.109 &ldquo;Free software&rdquo; does not mean &ldquo;noncommercial&rdquo;. A free
163 rms 1.75 program must be available for commercial use, commercial development,
164     and commercial distribution. Commercial development of free software
165     is no longer unusual; such free commercial software is very important.
166 sinuhe 1.48 You may have paid money to get copies of free software, or you may have
167     obtained copies at no charge. But regardless of how you got your copies,
168     you always have the freedom to copy and change the software, even to
169     <a href="/philosophy/selling.html">sell copies</a>.
170     </p>
171    
172 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
173 rms 1.74 Whether a change constitutes an improvement is a subjective matter.
174     If your modifications are limited, in substance, to changes that
175     someone else considers an improvement, that is not freedom.
176     </p>
177    
178     <p>
179 rms 1.98 However, rules about how to package a modified version are acceptable,
180     if they don't substantively limit your freedom to release modified
181     versions, or your freedom to make and use modified versions privately.
182     Thus, it is acceptable for the license to require that you change the
183     name of the modified version, remove a logo, or identify your
184     modifications as yours. As long as these requirements are not so
185     burdensome that they effectively hamper you from releasing your
186     changes, they are acceptable; you're already making other changes to
187     the program, so you won't have trouble making a few more.
188     </p>
189    
190     <p>
191 rms 1.110 A special issue arises when a license requires changing the name by
192     which the program will be invoked from other programs. That
193     effectively hampers you from releasing your changed version so that it
194     can replace the original when invoked by those other programs. This
195     sort of requirement is acceptable only if there's an suitable aliasing
196     facility that allows you to specify the original program's name as an
197     alias for the modified version.</p>
198    
199     <p>
200 rms 1.98 Rules that &ldquo;if you make your version available in this way, you
201     must make it available in that way also&rdquo; can be acceptable too,
202     on the same condition. An example of such an acceptable rule is one
203     saying that if you have distributed a
204     modified version and a previous developer asks for a copy of it, you
205     must send one. (Note that such a rule still leaves you the choice of
206     whether to distribute your version at all.) Rules that require release
207     of source code to the users for versions that you put into public use
208     are also acceptable.
209 rms 1.39 </p>
210 sinuhe 1.48
211 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
212 sinuhe 1.48 In the GNU project, we use
213 jrasata 1.94 <a href="/copyleft/copyleft.html">copyleft</a>
214 sinuhe 1.48 to protect these freedoms legally for everyone. But
215 jrasata 1.96 <a href="/philosophy/categories.html#Non-CopyleftedFreeSoftware">noncopylefted
216 sinuhe 1.48 free software</a> also exists. We believe there are important reasons why
217 brett 1.87 <a href="/philosophy/pragmatic.html">it is better to use copyleft</a>,
218 jrasata 1.96 but if your program is noncopylefted free software, it is still basically
219 jrasata 1.97 ethical. (See <a href="/philosophy/categories.html">Categories of Free Software</a> for a description of how &ldquo;free software,&rdquo; &ldquo;copylefted software&rdquo; and other categories of software relate to each other.)
220 sinuhe 1.48 </p>
221    
222     <p>
223     Sometimes government <a id="exportcontrol">export control regulations</a>
224     and trade sanctions can constrain your freedom to distribute copies of
225     programs internationally. Software developers do not have the power to
226     eliminate or override these restrictions, but what they can and must do
227     is refuse to impose them as conditions of use of the program. In this
228     way, the restrictions will not affect activities and people outside the
229 rms 1.74 jurisdictions of these governments. Thus, free software licenses
230 brett 1.76 must not require obedience to any export regulations as a condition of
231 rms 1.74 any of the essential freedoms.
232 sinuhe 1.48 </p>
233    
234 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
235 sinuhe 1.48 Most free software licenses are based on copyright, and there are limits
236     on what kinds of requirements can be imposed through copyright. If a
237     copyright-based license respects freedom in the ways described above, it
238     is unlikely to have some other sort of problem that we never anticipated
239     (though this does happen occasionally). However, some free software
240     licenses are based on contracts, and contracts can impose a much larger
241     range of possible restrictions. That means there are many possible ways
242 rms 1.88 such a license could be unacceptably restrictive and nonfree.
243 sinuhe 1.48 </p>
244    
245 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
246 rms 1.41 We can't possibly list all the ways that might happen. If a
247     contract-based license restricts the user in an unusual way that
248     copyright-based licenses cannot, and which isn't mentioned here as
249 sinuhe 1.48 legitimate, we will have to think about it, and we will probably conclude
250 rms 1.88 it is nonfree.
251 sinuhe 1.48 </p>
252    
253 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
254 sinuhe 1.48 When talking about free software, it is best to avoid using terms
255 karl 1.91 like &ldquo;give away&rdquo; or &ldquo;for free,&rdquo; because those terms imply that
256 sinuhe 1.48 the issue is about price, not freedom. Some common terms such
257 karl 1.91 as &ldquo;piracy&rdquo; embody opinions we hope you won't endorse. See
258 sinuhe 1.48 <a href="/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html">Confusing Words and Phrases that
259     are Worth Avoiding</a> for a discussion of these terms. We also have
260 rms 1.88 a list of proper <a href="/philosophy/fs-translations.html">translations of
261 karl 1.91 &ldquo;free software&rdquo;</a> into various languages.
262 sinuhe 1.48 </p>
263    
264 wkotwica 1.24 <p>
265 webcvs 1.2 Finally, note that criteria such as those stated in this free software
266 sinuhe 1.48 definition require careful thought for their interpretation. To decide
267     whether a specific software license qualifies as a free software license,
268     we judge it based on these criteria to determine whether it fits their
269     spirit as well as the precise words. If a license includes unconscionable
270     restrictions, we reject it, even if we did not anticipate the issue
271     in these criteria. Sometimes a license requirement raises an issue
272     that calls for extensive thought, including discussions with a lawyer,
273     before we can decide if the requirement is acceptable. When we reach
274     a conclusion about a new issue, we often update these criteria to make
275     it easier to see why certain licenses do or don't qualify.
276     </p>
277    
278     <p>
279     If you are interested in whether a specific license qualifies as a free
280     software license, see our <a href="/licenses/license-list.html">list
281     of licenses</a>. If the license you are concerned with is not
282     listed there, you can ask us about it by sending us email at

284     </p>
285    
286     <p>
287 rms 1.88 If you are contemplating writing a new license, please contact the
288     Free Software Foundation first by writing to that address. The
289     proliferation of different free software licenses means increased work
290     for users in understanding the licenses; we may be able to help you
291     find an existing free software license that meets your needs.

293 webcvs 1.2
294 novalis 1.29 <p>
295     If that isn't possible, if you really need a new license, with our
296 rms 1.88 help you can ensure that the license really is a free software license
297 novalis 1.29 and avoid various practical problems.
