+ <h3>The Free Software Definition</h3>
+ <blockquote>
+ The free software definition presents the criteria for whether a
+ particular software program qualifies as free software.  From time to

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

+ <p>
+ One important way to modify a program is by merging in available free
