    @jacobwb To be more exact, @rms has been against proprietary software *and* hardware.

    Yeah. I hate how people are making it out as if Linus stuck up for software freedom, when really he was as pragmatic as ever.

    @jacobwb RMS has been saying that proprietary software is evil, Linus said that nVidia is hard to work with. Apples and oranges.

#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."
