<h3>The Free Software Definition</h3> |
15 |
|
16 |
<blockquote> |
17 |
<p> |
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 |
</p> |
25 |
</blockquote> |
26 |
|
27 |
<p> |
28 |
“Free software” means software that respects users' |
29 |
freedom and community. Roughly, <b>the users have the freedom to run, |
30 |
copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software</b>. With these |
31 |
freedoms, the users (both individually and collectively) control the |
32 |
program and what it does for them. |
33 |
</p> |
34 |
|
35 |
<p> |
36 |
When users don't control the program, the program controls the users. |
37 |
The developer controls the program, and through it controls the users. |
38 |
This nonfree or “proprietary” program is therefore an |
39 |
instrument of unjust power. |
40 |
</p> |
41 |
|
42 |
<p> |
43 |
Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. |
44 |
To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as |
45 |
in “free speech,” not as in “free beer”. |
46 |
</p> |
47 |
|
48 |
<p> |
49 |
A program is free software if the program's users have the |
50 |
four essential freedoms: |
51 |
</p> |
52 |
|
53 |
<ul> |
54 |
<li>The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).</li> |
55 |
<li>The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it |
56 |
does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source |
57 |
code is a precondition for this. |
58 |
</li> |
59 |
<li>The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor |
60 |
(freedom 2). |
61 |
</li> |
62 |
<li>The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions |
63 |
to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole |
64 |
community a chance to benefit from your changes. |
65 |
Access to the source code is a precondition for this. |
66 |
</li> |
67 |
</ul> |
68 |
|
69 |
<p> |
70 |
A program is free software if users have all of these freedoms. Thus, |
71 |
you should be free to redistribute copies, either with or without |
72 |
modifications, either gratis or charging a fee for distribution, to |
73 |
<a href="#exportcontrol">anyone anywhere</a>. Being free to do these |
74 |
things means (among other things) that you do not have to ask or pay |
75 |
for permission to do so. |
76 |
</p> |
77 |
|
78 |
<p> |
79 |
You should also have the freedom to make modifications and use them |
80 |
privately in your own work or play, without even mentioning that they |
81 |
exist. If you do publish your changes, you should not be required to |
82 |
notify anyone in particular, or in any particular way. |
83 |
</p> |
84 |
|
85 |
<p> |
86 |
The freedom to run the program means the freedom for any kind of person |
87 |
or organization to use it on any kind of computer system, for any kind of |
88 |
overall job and purpose, without being required to communicate about it |
89 |
with the developer or any other specific entity. In this freedom, it is |
90 |
the <em>user's</em> purpose that matters, not the <em>developer's</em> |
91 |
purpose; you as a user are free to run the program for your purposes, |
92 |
and if you distribute it to someone else, she is then free to run it |
93 |
for her purposes, but you are not entitled to impose your purposes on her. |
94 |
</p> |
95 |
|
96 |
<p> |
97 |
The freedom to redistribute copies must include binary or executable |
98 |
forms of the program, as well as source code, for both modified and |
99 |
unmodified versions. (Distributing programs in runnable form is necessary |
100 |
for conveniently installable free operating systems.) It is OK if there |
101 |
is no way to produce a binary or executable form for a certain program |
102 |
(since some languages don't support that feature), but you must have the |
103 |
freedom to redistribute such forms should you find or develop a way to |
104 |
make them. |
105 |
</p> |
106 |
|
107 |
<p> |
108 |
In order for freedoms 1 and 3 (the freedom to make changes and the |
109 |
freedom to publish the changed versions) to be meaningful, you must have |
110 |
access to the source code of the program. Therefore, accessibility of |
111 |
source code is a necessary condition for free software. Obfuscated |
112 |
“source code” is not real source code and does not count |
113 |
as source code. |
114 |
</p> |
115 |
|
116 |
<p> |
117 |
Freedom 1 includes the freedom to use your changed version in place of |
118 |
the original. If the program is delivered in a product designed to |
119 |
run someone else's modified versions but refuse to run yours — a |
120 |
practice known as “tivoization” or “lockdown”, |
121 |
or (in its practitioners' perverse terminology) as “secure |
122 |
boot” — freedom 1 becomes a theoretical fiction rather |
123 |
than a practical freedom. This is not sufficient. In other words, |
124 |
these binaries are not free software even if the source code they are |
125 |
compiled from is free. |
126 |
</p> |
127 |
|
128 |
<p> |
129 |
One important way to modify a program is by merging in available free |
130 |
subroutines and modules. If the program's license says that you |
131 |
cannot merge in a suitably licensed existing module — for instance, if it |
132 |
requires you to be the copyright holder of any code you add — then the |
133 |
license is too restrictive to qualify as free. |
134 |
</p> |
135 |
|
136 |
<p> |
137 |
Freedom 3 includes the freedom to release your modified versions |
138 |
as free software. A free license may also permit other ways of |
139 |
releasing them; in other words, it does not have to be |
140 |
a <a href="/copyleft/copyleft.html">copyleft</a> license. However, a |
141 |
license that requires modified versions to be nonfree does not qualify |
142 |
as a free license. |
143 |
</p> |
144 |
|
145 |
<p> |
146 |
In order for these freedoms to be real, they must be permanent and |
147 |
irrevocable as long as you do nothing wrong; if the developer of the |
148 |
software has the power to revoke the license, or retroactively add |
149 |
restrictions to its terms, without your doing anything wrong to give |
150 |
cause, the software is not free. |
151 |
</p> |
152 |
|
153 |
<p> |
154 |
However, certain kinds of rules about the manner of distributing free |
155 |
software are acceptable, when they don't conflict with the central |
156 |
freedoms. For example, copyleft (very simply stated) is the rule that |
157 |
when redistributing the program, you cannot add restrictions to deny |
158 |
other people the central freedoms. This rule does not conflict with |
159 |
the central freedoms; rather it protects them. |
160 |
</p> |
161 |
|
162 |
<p> |
163 |
“Free software” does not mean “noncommercial”. A free |
164 |
program must be available for commercial use, commercial development, |
165 |
and commercial distribution. Commercial development of free software |
166 |
is no longer unusual; such free commercial software is very important. |
167 |
You may have paid money to get copies of free software, or you may have |
168 |
obtained copies at no charge. But regardless of how you got your copies, |
169 |
you always have the freedom to copy and change the software, even to |
170 |
<a href="/philosophy/selling.html">sell copies</a>. |
171 |
</p> |
172 |
|
173 |
<p> |
174 |
Whether a change constitutes an improvement is a subjective matter. |
175 |
If your right to modify a program is limited, in substance, to changes that |
176 |
someone else considers an improvement, that program is not free. |
177 |
</p> |
178 |
|
179 |
<p> |
180 |
However, rules about how to package a modified version are acceptable, |
181 |
if they don't substantively limit your freedom to release modified |
182 |
versions, or your freedom to make and use modified versions privately. |
183 |
Thus, it is acceptable for the license to require that you change the |
184 |
name of the modified version, remove a logo, or identify your |
185 |
modifications as yours. As long as these requirements are not so |
186 |
burdensome that they effectively hamper you from releasing your |
187 |
changes, they are acceptable; you're already making other changes to |
188 |
the program, so you won't have trouble making a few more. |
189 |
</p> |
190 |
|
191 |
<p> |
192 |
Rules that “if you make your version available in this way, you |
193 |
must make it available in that way also” can be acceptable too, |
194 |
on the same condition. An example of such an acceptable rule is one |
195 |
saying that if you have distributed a |
196 |
modified version and a previous developer asks for a copy of it, you |
197 |
must send one. (Note that such a rule still leaves you the choice of |
198 |
whether to distribute your version at all.) Rules that require release |
199 |
of source code to the users for versions that you put into public use |
200 |
are also acceptable. |
201 |
</p> |
202 |
|
203 |
<p> |
204 |
A special issue arises when a license requires changing the name by |
205 |
which the program will be invoked from other programs. That |
206 |
effectively hampers you from releasing your changed version so that it |
207 |
can replace the original when invoked by those other programs. This |
208 |
sort of requirement is acceptable only if there's a suitable aliasing |
209 |
facility that allows you to specify the original program's name as an |
210 |
alias for the modified version.</p> |
211 |
|
212 |
<p> |
213 |
In the GNU project, we use |
214 |
<a href="/copyleft/copyleft.html">copyleft</a> |
215 |
to protect these freedoms legally for everyone. But |
216 |
<a href="/philosophy/categories.html#Non-CopyleftedFreeSoftware">noncopylefted |
217 |
free software</a> also exists. We believe there are important reasons why |
218 |
<a href="/philosophy/pragmatic.html">it is better to use copyleft</a>, |
219 |
but if your program is noncopylefted free software, it is still basically |
220 |
ethical. (See <a href="/philosophy/categories.html">Categories of Free Software</a> for a description of how “free software,” “copylefted software” and other categories of software relate to each other.) |
221 |
</p> |
222 |
|
223 |
<p> |
224 |
Sometimes government <a id="exportcontrol">export control regulations</a> |
225 |
and trade sanctions can constrain your freedom to distribute copies of |
226 |
programs internationally. Software developers do not have the power to |
227 |
eliminate or override these restrictions, but what they can and must do |
228 |
is refuse to impose them as conditions of use of the program. In this |
229 |
way, the restrictions will not affect activities and people outside the |
230 |
jurisdictions of these governments. Thus, free software licenses |
231 |
must not require obedience to any nontrivial export regulations as a |
232 |
condition of exercising any of the essential freedoms. |
233 |
</p> |
234 |
|
235 |
<p> |
236 |
Merely mentioning the existence of export regulations, without making |
237 |
them a condition of the license itself, is acceptable since it does |
238 |
not restrict users. If an export regulation is actually trivial for |
239 |
free software, then requiring it as a condition is not an actual |
240 |
problem; however, it is a potential problem, since a later change in |
241 |
export law could make the requirement nontrivial and thus render the |
242 |
software nonfree. |
243 |
</p> |
244 |
|
245 |
<p> |
246 |
Most free software licenses are based on copyright, and there are limits |
247 |
on what kinds of requirements can be imposed through copyright. If a |
248 |
copyright-based license respects freedom in the ways described above, it |
249 |
is unlikely to have some other sort of problem that we never anticipated |
250 |
(though this does happen occasionally). However, some free software |
251 |
licenses are based on contracts, and contracts can impose a much larger |
252 |
range of possible restrictions. That means there are many possible ways |
253 |
such a license could be unacceptably restrictive and nonfree. |
254 |
</p> |
255 |
|
256 |
<p> |
257 |
We can't possibly list all the ways that might happen. If a |
258 |
contract-based license restricts the user in an unusual way that |
259 |
copyright-based licenses cannot, and which isn't mentioned here as |
260 |
legitimate, we will have to think about it, and we will probably conclude |
261 |
it is nonfree. |
262 |
</p> |
263 |
|
264 |
<p> |
265 |
When talking about free software, it is best to avoid using terms |
266 |
like “give away” or “for free,” because those terms imply that |
267 |
the issue is about price, not freedom. Some common terms such |
268 |
as “piracy” embody opinions we hope you won't endorse. See |
269 |
<a href="/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html">Confusing Words and Phrases that |
270 |
are Worth Avoiding</a> for a discussion of these terms. We also have |
271 |
a list of proper <a href="/philosophy/fs-translations.html">translations of |
272 |
“free software”</a> into various languages. |
273 |
</p> |
274 |
|
275 |
<p> |
276 |
Finally, note that criteria such as those stated in this free software |
277 |
definition require careful thought for their interpretation. To decide |
278 |
whether a specific software license qualifies as a free software license, |
279 |
we judge it based on these criteria to determine whether it fits their |
280 |
spirit as well as the precise words. If a license includes unconscionable |
281 |
restrictions, we reject it, even if we did not anticipate the issue |
282 |
in these criteria. Sometimes a license requirement raises an issue |
283 |
that calls for extensive thought, including discussions with a lawyer, |
284 |
before we can decide if the requirement is acceptable. When we reach |
285 |
a conclusion about a new issue, we often update these criteria to make |
286 |
it easier to see why certain licenses do or don't qualify. |
287 |

If you are interested in whether a specific license qualifies as a free |
291 |
software license, see our <a href="/licenses/license-list.html">list |
292 |

If you are contemplating writing a new license, please contact the |
299 |
Free Software Foundation first by writing to that address. The |
300 |
proliferation of different free software licenses means increased work |
301 |
for users in understanding the licenses; we may be able to help you |
302 |
find an existing free software license that meets your needs. |
303 |
</p> |
304 |
|
305 |
<p> |
306 |
If that isn't possible, if you really need a new license, with our |
307 |
help you can ensure that the license really is a free software license |
308 |
and avoid various practical problems. |

312 |
|
313 |
<p> |
314 |
<a href="/philosophy/free-doc.html">Software manuals must be free</a>, |
315 |
for the same reasons that software must be free, and because the |
316 |
manuals are in effect part of the software. |
317 |
</p> |
318 |
|
319 |
<p> |
320 |
The same arguments also make sense for other kinds of works of |
321 |
practical use — that is to say, works that embody useful knowledge, |
322 |
such as educational works and reference |
323 |
works. <a href="http://wikipedia.org">Wikipedia</a> is the best-known |

Any kind of work <em>can</em> be free, and the definition of free software |

336 |
Another group has started using the term “open source” to mean |
337 |
something close (but not identical) to “free software”. We |
338 |
prefer the term “free software” because, once you have heard that |
339 |
it refers to freedom rather than price, it calls to mind freedom. The |
340 |
word “open” <a href="/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html"> |
341 |
never refers to freedom</a>. |

Either "2001, 2002, 2003" or "2001-2003" are ok for specifying |
