+<p>Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy,
distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely,
it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:</p>
<ul>
<li>The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).</li>
-
<li>The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs
(freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.</li>
<li>The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
