Free and Open Source Software
Open Source Software
- free redistribution
- must include source code
- allow modifications + derived works
- no discrimination against "fields of endeavor"
- technology neutral
Free Software
"this is a matter of freedom, not price, so think of 'free speech,' not 'free beer'"
Definitions via https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html
Freedom 0
The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
Freedom 1
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.
Freedom 2
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
Freedom 3
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.
