+<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>
