+
+&lt;h3&gt;The Free Software Definition&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;
+The free software definition presents the criteria for whether a
+particular software program qualifies as free software.  From time to
+time we revise this definition, to clarify it or to resolve questions
+about subtle issues.  See the &lt;a href="#History"&gt;History 
section&lt;/a&gt;
+below for a list of changes that affect the definition of free
+software.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+&ldquo;Free software&rdquo; means software that respects users'
+freedom and community.  Roughly, it means that &lt;b&gt;the users have the
+freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the
+software&lt;/b&gt;.  Thus, &ldquo;free software&rdquo; is a matter of
+liberty, not price.  To understand the concept, you should think of
+&ldquo;free&rdquo; as in &ldquo;free speech,&rdquo; not as in
+&ldquo;free beer&rdquo;.  <span class="inserted"><ins><em>We sometimes call it 
&ldquo;libre
+software&rdquo; to show we do not mean it is gratis.</em></ins></span>
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+We campaign for these freedoms because everyone deserves them.  With
+these freedoms, the users (both individually and collectively) control
+the program and what it does for them.  When users don't control the
+program, we call it a &ldquo;nonfree&rdquo; or
+&ldquo;proprietary&rdquo; program.  The nonfree program controls the
+users, and the developer controls the program; this makes the
+program &lt;a href="/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html"&gt;
+an instrument of unjust power&lt;/a&gt;.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+A program is free software if the program's users have the
+four essential freedoms:
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;The freedom to run the program as you wish,
+      for any purpose (freedom 0).&lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it
+      does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source
+      code is a precondition for this.
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
+      (freedom 2).
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions
+      to others (freedom 3).  By doing this you can give the whole
+      community a chance to benefit from your changes.
+      Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+A program is free software if it gives users adequately all of these
+freedoms.  Otherwise, it is nonfree.  While we can distinguish various
+nonfree distribution schemes in terms of how far they fall short of
+being free, we consider them all equally unethical.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The rest of this page clarifies certain points about what makes
+specific freedoms adequate or not.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Freedom to distribute (freedoms 2 and 3) means you are free to
+redistribute copies, either with or without modifications, either
+gratis or charging a fee for distribution, to
+&lt;a href="#exportcontrol"&gt;anyone anywhere&lt;/a&gt;.  Being free to do 
these
+things means (among other things) that you do not have to ask or pay
+for permission to do so.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+You should also have the freedom to make modifications and use them
+privately in your own work or play, without even mentioning that they
+exist.  If you do publish your changes, you should not be required to
+notify anyone in particular, or in any particular way.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+The freedom to run the program means the freedom for any kind of person
+or organization to use it on any kind of computer system, for any kind of
+overall job and purpose, without being required to communicate about it
+with the developer or any other specific entity.  In this freedom, it is
+the &lt;em&gt;user's&lt;/em&gt; purpose that matters, not the 
&lt;em&gt;developer's&lt;/em&gt;
+purpose; you as a user are free to run the program for your purposes,
+and if you distribute it to someone else, she is then free to run it
+for her purposes, but you are not entitled to impose your purposes on her.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+The freedom to run the program as you wish means that you are not
+forbidden or stopped from doing so.  It has nothing to do with what
+functionality the program has, or whether it is useful for what you
+want to do.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+The freedom to redistribute copies must include binary or executable
+forms of the program, as well as source code, for both modified and
+unmodified versions.  (Distributing programs in runnable form is necessary
+for conveniently installable free operating systems.)  It is OK if there
+is no way to produce a binary or executable form for a certain program
+(since some languages don't support that feature), but you must have the
+freedom to redistribute such forms should you find or develop a way to
+make them.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+In order for freedoms 1 and 3 (the freedom to make changes and the
+freedom to publish the changed versions) to be meaningful, you must have
+access to the source code of the program.  Therefore, accessibility of
+source code is a necessary condition for free software.  Obfuscated
+&ldquo;source code&rdquo; is not real source code and does not count
+as source code.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Freedom 1 includes the freedom to use your changed version in place of
+the original.  If the program is delivered in a product designed to
+run someone else's modified versions but refuse to run yours &mdash; a
+practice known as &ldquo;tivoization&rdquo; or &ldquo;lockdown&rdquo;,
+or (in its practitioners' perverse terminology) as &ldquo;secure
+boot&rdquo; &mdash; freedom 1 becomes an empty pretense rather than a
+practical reality.  These binaries are not free
+software even if the source code they are compiled from is free.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+One important way to modify a program is by merging in available free
+subroutines and modules.  If the program's license says that you
+cannot merge in a suitably licensed existing module &mdash; for instance, if it
+requires you to be the copyright holder of any code you add &mdash; then the
+license is too restrictive to qualify as free.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Freedom 3 includes the freedom to release your modified versions
+as free software.  A free license may also permit other ways of
+releasing them; in other words, it does not have to be
+a &lt;a href="/copyleft/copyleft.html"&gt;copyleft&lt;/a&gt; license.  
However, a
+license that requires modified versions to be nonfree does not qualify
+as a free license.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+In order for these freedoms to be real, they must be permanent and
+irrevocable as long as you do nothing wrong; if the developer of the
+software has the power to revoke the license, or retroactively add
+restrictions to its terms, without your doing anything wrong to give
+cause, the software is not free.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+However, certain kinds of rules about the manner of distributing free
+software are acceptable, when they don't conflict with the central
+freedoms.  For example, &lt;a 
href="/copyleft/copyleft.html"&gt;copyleft&lt;/a&gt;
+(very simply stated) is the rule that when redistributing the program,
+you cannot add restrictions to deny other people the central freedoms.
+This rule does not conflict with the central freedoms; rather it
+protects them.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+In the GNU project, we use copyleft to protect the four freedoms
+legally for everyone.  We believe there are important reasons why
+&lt;a href="/philosophy/pragmatic.html"&gt;it is better to use
+copyleft&lt;/a&gt;.  However,
+&lt;a href="/philosophy/categories.html#Non-CopyleftedFreeSoftware"&gt;
+noncopylefted free software&lt;/a&gt; is ethical
+too.  See &lt;a href="/philosophy/categories.html"&gt;Categories of Free
+Software&lt;/a&gt; for a description of how &ldquo;free software,&rdquo;
+&ldquo;copylefted software&rdquo; and other categories of software
+relate to each other.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+&ldquo;Free software&rdquo; does not mean &ldquo;noncommercial&rdquo;.  A free
+program must be available for commercial use, commercial development,
+and commercial distribution.  Commercial development of free software
+is no longer unusual; such free commercial software is very important.
+You may have paid money to get copies of free software, or you may have
+obtained copies at no charge.  But regardless of how you got your copies,
+you always have the freedom to copy and change the software, even to 
+&lt;a href="/philosophy/selling.html"&gt;sell copies&lt;/a&gt;.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Whether a change constitutes an improvement is a subjective matter.
+If your right to modify a program is limited, in substance, to changes that
+someone else considers an improvement, that program is not free.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+However, rules about how to package a modified version are acceptable,
+if they don't substantively limit your freedom to release modified
+versions, or your freedom to make and use modified versions privately.
+Thus, it is acceptable for the license to require that you change the
+name of the modified version, remove a logo, or identify your
+modifications as yours.  As long as these requirements are not so
+burdensome that they effectively hamper you from releasing your
+changes, they are acceptable; you're already making other changes to
+the program, so you won't have trouble making a few more.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Rules that &ldquo;if you make your version available in this way, you
+must make it available in that way also&rdquo; can be acceptable too,
+on the same condition.  An example of such an acceptable rule is one
+saying that if you have distributed a
+modified version and a previous developer asks for a copy of it, you
+must send one.  (Note that such a rule still leaves you the choice of
+whether to distribute your version at all.)  Rules that require release
+of source code to the users for versions that you put into public use
+are also acceptable.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+A special issue arises when a license requires changing the name by
+which the program will be invoked from other programs.  That
+effectively hampers you from releasing your changed version so that it
+can replace the original when invoked by those other programs.  This
+sort of requirement is acceptable only if there's a suitable aliasing
+facility that allows you to specify the original program's name as an
+alias for the modified version.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Sometimes government &lt;a id="exportcontrol"&gt;export control 
regulations&lt;/a&gt;
+and trade sanctions can constrain your freedom to distribute copies of
+programs internationally.  Software developers do not have the power to
+eliminate or override these restrictions, but what they can and must do
+is refuse to impose them as conditions of use of the program.  In this
+way, the restrictions will not affect activities and people outside the
+jurisdictions of these governments.  Thus, free software licenses
+must not require obedience to any nontrivial export regulations as a
+condition of exercising any of the essential freedoms.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Merely mentioning the existence of export regulations, without making
+them a condition of the license itself, is acceptable since it does
+not restrict users.  If an export regulation is actually trivial for
+free software, then requiring it as a condition is not an actual
+problem; however, it is a potential problem, since a later change in
+export law could make the requirement nontrivial and thus render the
+software nonfree.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+A free license may not require compliance with the license of a
+nonfree program.  Thus, for instance, if a license requires you to
+comply with the licenses of &ldquo;all the programs you use&rdquo;, in
+the case of a user that runs nonfree programs this would require
+compliance with the licenses of those nonfree programs; that makes the
+license nonfree.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+It is acceptable for a free license to specify which jurisdiction's
+law applies, or where litigation must be done, or both.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Most free software licenses are based on copyright, and there are limits
+on what kinds of requirements can be imposed through copyright.  If a
+copyright-based license respects freedom in the ways described above, it
+is unlikely to have some other sort of problem that we never anticipated
+(though this does happen occasionally).  However, some free software
+licenses are based on contracts, and contracts can impose a much larger
+range of possible restrictions.  That means there are many possible ways
+such a license could be unacceptably restrictive and nonfree.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+We can't possibly list all the ways that might happen.  If a
+contract-based license restricts the user in an unusual way that
+copyright-based licenses cannot, and which isn't mentioned here as
+legitimate, we will have to think about it, and we will probably conclude
+it is nonfree.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+When talking about free software, it is best to avoid using terms
+like &ldquo;give away&rdquo; or &ldquo;for free,&rdquo; because those terms 
imply that
+the issue is about price, not freedom.  Some common terms such
+as &ldquo;piracy&rdquo; embody opinions we hope you won't endorse.  See 
+&lt;a href="/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html"&gt;Confusing Words and Phrases 
that
+are Worth Avoiding&lt;/a&gt; for a discussion of these terms.  We also have
+a list of proper &lt;a href="/philosophy/fs-translations.html"&gt;translations 
of
+&ldquo;free software&rdquo;&lt;/a&gt; into various languages.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Finally, note that criteria such as those stated in this free software
+definition require careful thought for their interpretation.  To decide
+whether a specific software license qualifies as a free software license,
+we judge it based on these criteria to determine whether it fits their
+spirit as well as the precise words.  If a license includes unconscionable
+restrictions, we reject it, even if we did not anticipate the issue
+in these criteria.  Sometimes a license requirement raises an issue
+that calls for extensive thought, including discussions with a lawyer,
+before we can decide if the requirement is acceptable.  When we reach
+a conclusion about a new issue, we often update these criteria to make
+it easier to see why certain licenses do or don't qualify.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+If you are interested in whether a specific license qualifies as a free
+software license, see our &lt;a href="/licenses/license-list.html"&gt;list
+of licenses&lt;/a&gt;.  If the license you are concerned with is not
+listed there, you can ask us about it by sending us email at 
+&lt;a href="mailto:address@hidden"&gt;&lt;address@hidden&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.
+&lt;/p&gt; 
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+If you are contemplating writing a new license, please contact the
+Free Software Foundation first by writing to that address. The
+proliferation of different free software licenses means increased work
+for users in understanding the licenses; we may be able to help you
+find an existing free software license that meets your needs.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+If that isn't possible, if you really need a new license, with our
+help you can ensure that the license really is a free software license
+and avoid various practical problems.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="beyond-software"&gt;Beyond Software&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+&lt;a href="/philosophy/free-doc.html"&gt;Software manuals must be 
free&lt;/a&gt;,
+for the same reasons that software must be free, and because the
+manuals are in effect part of the software.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+The same arguments also make sense for other kinds of works of
+practical use &mdash; that is to say, works that embody useful knowledge,
+such as educational works and reference
+works.  &lt;a href="http://wikipedia.org"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt; is the 
best-known
+example.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Any kind of work &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; be free, and the definition of free 
software
+has been extended to a definition of &lt;a 
href="http://freedomdefined.org/"&gt;
+free cultural works&lt;/a&gt; applicable to any kind of works.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="open-source"&gt;Open Source?&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;
+Another group has started using the term &ldquo;open source&rdquo; to mean
+something close (but not identical) to &ldquo;free software&rdquo;.  We
+prefer the term &ldquo;free software&rdquo; because, once you have heard that
+it refers to freedom rather than price, it calls to mind freedom.  The
+word &ldquo;open&rdquo; &lt;a 
href="/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html"&gt;
+never refers to freedom&lt;/a&gt;.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;h3 id="History"&gt;History&lt;/h3&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;From time to time we revise this Free Software Definition.  Here is
+the list of substantive changes, along with links to show exactly what
+was changed.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.134&amp;r2=1.135"&gt;Version
+1.135&lt;/a&gt;: Say each time that freedom 0 is the freedom to run the program
+as you wish.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.133&amp;r2=1.134"&gt;Version
+1.134&lt;/a&gt;: Freedom 0 is not a matter of the program's 
functionality.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.130&amp;r2=1.131"&gt;Version
+1.131&lt;/a&gt;: A free license may not require compliance with a nonfree 
license
+of another program.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.128&amp;r2=1.129"&gt;Version
+1.129&lt;/a&gt;: State explicitly that choice of law and choice of forum
+specifications are allowed.  (This was always our policy.)&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.121&amp;r2=1.122"&gt;Version
+1.122&lt;/a&gt;: An export control requirement is a real problem if the
+requirement is nontrivial; otherwise it is only a potential problem.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.117&amp;r2=1.118"&gt;Version
+1.118&lt;/a&gt;: Clarification: the issue is limits on your right to modify,
+not on what modifications you have made.  And modifications are not limited
+to &ldquo;improvements&rdquo;&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.110&amp;r2=1.111"&gt;Version
+1.111&lt;/a&gt;: Clarify 1.77 by saying that only
+retroactive &lt;em&gt;restrictions&lt;/em&gt; are unacceptable.  The copyright
+holders can always grant additional &lt;em&gt;permission&lt;/em&gt; for use of 
the
+work by releasing the work in another way in parallel.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.104&amp;r2=1.105"&gt;Version
+1.105&lt;/a&gt;: Reflect, in the brief statement of freedom 1, the point
+(already stated in version 1.80) that it includes really using your modified
+version for your computing.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.91&amp;r2=1.92"&gt;Version
+1.92&lt;/a&gt;: Clarify that obfuscated code does not qualify as source 
code.&lt;/li&gt;

href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.89&amp;r2=1.90"&gt;Version
+1.90&lt;/a&gt;: Clarify that freedom 3 means the right to distribute copies
+of your own modified or improved version, not a right to participate
+in someone else's development project.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.88&amp;r2=1.89"&gt;Version
+1.89&lt;/a&gt;: Freedom 3 includes the right to release modified versions as
+free software.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.79&amp;r2=1.80"&gt;Version
+1.80&lt;/a&gt;: Freedom 1 must be practical, not just theoretical;
+i.e., no tivoization.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.76&amp;r2=1.77"&gt;Version
+1.77&lt;/a&gt;: Clarify that all retroactive changes to the license are
+unacceptable, even if it's not described as a complete
+replacement.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.73&amp;r2=1.74"&gt;Version
+1.74&lt;/a&gt;: Four clarifications of points not explicit enough, or stated
+in some places but not reflected everywhere:
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;"Improvements" does not mean the license can
+substantively limit what kinds of modified versions you can release.
+Freedom 3 includes distributing modified versions, not just changes.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;The right to merge in existing modules
+refers to those that are suitably licensed.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Explicitly state the conclusion of the point about export 
controls.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Imposing a license change constitutes revoking the old 
license.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;/li&gt;
+

+1.46&lt;/a&gt;: Clarify whose purpose is significant in the freedom to run
+the program for any purpose.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.40&amp;r2=1.41"&gt;Version
+1.41&lt;/a&gt;: Clarify wording about contract-based licenses.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.39&amp;r2=1.40"&gt;Version
+1.40&lt;/a&gt;: Explain that a free license must allow to you use other
+available free software to create your modifications.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.38&amp;r2=1.39"&gt;Version
+1.39&lt;/a&gt;: Note that it is acceptable for a license to require you to
+provide source for versions of the software you put into public
+use.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.30&amp;r2=1.31"&gt;Version

+identify yourself as the author of modifications.  Other minor
+clarifications throughout the text.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a 
href="http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/www/philosophy/free-sw.html?root=www&amp;r1=1.22&amp;r2=1.23"&gt;Version

+licenses.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a

+1.16&lt;/a&gt;: Explain why distribution of binaries is important.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;&lt;a
