    @fontana [software] freedom is about the [4] freedoms one retains; licenses are just one of many means to take them away

    @fontana yeah, thank you! even OSI, whose defn obsesses about properties of licenses, goes beyond that in some bullets

    @lxoliva I believe that under some circumstances using noncopyleft license is better route to achieve social aims of copyleft.

    @lxoliva Freedom is arguably about more than mere licensing. Assumption otherwise seems typical of those associated with #Cygnus.

    @lxoliva not really. Apache License is actually stealth copyleft here.

    @fontana because they misunderstand the license, or because they don't want to respect users' freedoms?

    @fontana sounds like Red Hat is uncertain about the OSS proposition that OSS is more beneficial to all involved parties

    @bkuhn by preemptive defeat I mean giving up core values to get popularity for something that won't be aligned with the core values

#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."
