+<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>

-This article takes a narrowly economic view of its subject, measuring

-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

-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

+<h2>About Free Software</h2>
+<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>

+<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>

+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

+wrong of stopping people from sharing, it can only be more harmful

+<p>
+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
+once we consider the ethics as well.

+ listen, so that's OK”</a> and <a
+ href="http://www.heise.de/tp/english/inhalt/te/5263/1.html">“How NSA

Comparative Ethical Assessment of Free Software Licensing Schemes</a> by Samir

+ <li>Not available online, but as early as 1960 Bernard Galler wrote a
+ letter to the editor of the Communications of the ACM (vol.3, no.4,
+ pp.A12-A13), saying in part (mentioning price, but clearly implying
+ freedom):
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>
+ … it is clear that what is being
+ charged for is the development of the program, and
+ 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
+ directly benefited from the free exchange of programs
+ made possible by the distribution facilities of SHARE.
+ If we start to sell our programs, this will set very
+ undesirable precedents.
+ </p>
