Free software
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Free software is software that anyone may run, share, and change, at any time, for any reason.
In 1984, Richard Stallman started the free software movement when he began the GNU project.
The free in free software is about freedom, not price. People are allowed to sell free software, but the person who buys the software may change it or give it away.
Free software is not the same as freeware. Freeware is software that is free in price, but might not be free to change or share.
