    I've never played #Minecraft - Is this #Federated software? Is it #FreeSoftware? If so, how can Microsoft control what's happening on someone's private server? Even if such code existed in a #FreeSoftware application, I would have thought there'd be a fork that eliminates that external control. It's time for that now. But if #Minecraft isn't #FreeSoftware aka Free/Libre Open Sou…

    My team is hosting a virtual conference in October (maybe it's September). I think it is just for current customers. A user group meeting of sorts. In any case, I don't know if the presentations themselves will see the public web, but I can certainly share here some of what I learn along the way. Basically any #freesoftware is fair game, although we don't typically do much with…

    GNU/Linux is generously made by users. Because of their good will and the four freedoms, #freesoftware is on your side.

    Also remember: the #FreeSoftware community introduced the first #OpenMoko months before #Apple launched #iPhone — and #GreenPhone months before that. Even with major... debut foibles, they were amazing—not just technically, but also socially: https://www.mail-archive.com/gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org/msg26330.html

    According to a survey of over 30,000 developers, these are the top 25 people who will have the most influence in tech, and we're not surprised to find RMS, founder of the FSF, on the list. But please remember, we advocate #freesoftware, not open source! https://u.fsf.org/2td

#Freesoftware

Primary audience

all, free software advocates, Linux users

Definition

Free software or software libre is software that guarantees the freedom to be used, studied, and modified without restriction, and the freedom to be copied and redistributed in modified or unmodified form either without restriction, or with minimal restrictions only to ensure that further recipients can also do these things and that manufacturers of consumer-facing hardware allow user modifications to their hardware. Free software in most cases is also available gratis (free of charge). However the focus of the term "free" is on freedom. R. Stallman summarised the difference in a slogan: "Think free as in free speech, not free beer."
