-<h3>About Free Software</h3>
-<p>
-Free software is a matter of freedom: people should be free to use
-software in all the ways that are socially useful. Software differs
-from material objects--such as chairs, sandwiches, and gasoline--in
-that it can be copied and changed much more easily. These
-possibilities make software as useful as it is; we believe software
-users should be able to make use of them.</p>

-<!--==========================================================================
- Laws and Issues
-===========================================================================-->
+<p>The <acronym>GNU</acronym> Project was launched in 1984 to develop a
complete Unix-like operating system which is <a
href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a>:
+the <acronym>GNU</acronym> system. Variants of the <acronym>GNU</acronym>
operating system, which use the kernel called Linux, are now widely used;
though these systems are often referred to as “Linux”, they are
more accurately called <a href="/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html">GNU/Linux systems</a>.
+</p>
-<h3>Laws and Issues</h3>
+<p><acronym>GNU</acronym> is a recursive acronym for “GNU's Not
+Unix”; it is pronounced <em>guh-noo</em>, like

Patent</a>,
- by Richard M. Stallman.</li>
-</ul>
+<p>“<a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">Free software</a>” is a
matter of liberty, not price.
+To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in
+“free speech”, not as in
+“free beer”.
+</p>
-<h3>Terminology and Definitions</h3>
+<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
+ (freedom 2).</li>
+ <li>The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements
+ to the public, so that the whole community benefits
+ (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>What is the Free Software Foundation?</h3>
+
+<p>The <a href="http://www.fsf.org">Free Software Foundation</a>
+(<abbr title="Free Software Foundation">FSF</abbr>) is the principal
organizational sponsor of the <acronym>GNU</acronym> Project.
+The <abbr title="Free Software Foundation">FSF</abbr> receives very little
funding from corporations or grant-making
+foundations, but relies on support from individuals like you.

-This article takes a narrowly economic view of its subject, measuring
-social alternatives only by what goods are available for what price,
-assuming that you the citizen are a mere consumer and place no value
-on your freedom in itself. It also uses the misleading term
-<a href="/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#IntellectualProperty">"intellectual
-property"</a>, which is misleading because it lumps copyrights and
-patents together. The article also lumps them together, which it can
-get away with because it ignores the (different) social issues that
-copyrights and patents raise.
-</p><p>
-Despite those flaws, it is significant. If one can judge copyright to
-be harmful even on narrow economic terms, disregarding the ethical
-wrong of stopping people from sharing, it can only be more harmful

- while I am particularly unhappy that it comes from a
- university, I believe it is damaging to the whole
- profession. There isn't a 704 installation that hasn't

- made possible by the distribution facilities of SHARE.
- If we start to sell our programs, this will set very
- undesirable precedents.
