GNU GPL Creator Richard Stallman on the Meaning of 'Free'

Publication:Linux InsiderDate:Oct 16 2007

"Free software" is a term that's often used interchangeably with "open source," and often understood simply to mean software that is obtained without charge. However, the idea of free software is neither about openness nor about price; it is a matter of freedom, and its implications extend into the political, philosophical and ethical realms.
