The free software definition presents the criteria for whether a |

particular software program qualifies as free software. From time to |

time we revise this definition, to clarify it or to resolve questions |

about subtle issues. See the <a href="#History">History section</a> |

“Free software” 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. |

practice known as “tivoization” or “lockdown”, |

or (in its practitioners' perverse terminology) as “secure |

boot” — freedom 1 becomes a theoretical fiction rather |
122 |
|
than a practical freedom. This is not sufficient. In other words, |

these binaries are not free software even if the source code they are |

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> |

Rules that “if you make your version available in this way, you |

|
must make it available in that way also” 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 |

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. |
