+<h2>The advantages of free software</h2>
+
+<p>by <strong>Richard Stallman</strong></p>
+
+
+<p><strong>People outside the free software movement frequently ask about
+the practical advantages of free software. It is a curious
question.</strong></p>
+
+<p>Nonfree software is bad because it denies your freedom. Thus, asking
+about the practical advantages of free software is like asking about
+the practical advantages of not being handcuffed. Indeed, it has
+advantages:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>You can wear an ordinary shirt.</li>
+<li>You can get through metal detectors without triggering them.</li>
+<li>You can keep a hand on the steering wheel while you shift gears.</li>
+<li>You can pitch a baseball.</li>
+<li>You can carry a backpack.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>We could find more, but do you need these advantages to
+convince you to reject handcuffs? Probably not, because you
+understand that your freedom is what's at stake.</p>
+
+<p>Once you realize that that's what's at stake with nonfree software,
+you won't need to ask what practical advantages free software has.</p>
