	Freely redistributable software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term has been used to mean two types of free to redistribute software, distinguished by the legal modifiability of the software.
		The term was used as a more formal name for free software before the name open source was coined.
		The non-modifiable FRS generally comes in the form of executable binaries and is often used by proprietary software companies and authors to showcase their work or to encourage the user to buy full products from them (in the case of shareware, demo or trial versions).

	Free software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The usual way for software to be distributed as free software is for the software to be licensed to the recipient with a free software license (or be in the public domain), and the source code of the software to be made available (for a compiled language).
		Software development for the GNU operating system began in January 1984, and Free Software Foundation (FSF) was founded in October 1985.
		Free software is generally available at little to no cost and can result in permanently lower costs compared to proprietary software, evidence by free software becoming popular in third world countries.

	Categories of Free and Non-Free Software - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
		Free software is software that comes with permission for anyone to use, copy, and distribute, either verbatim or with modifications, either gratis or for a fee.
		Meanwhile, most free software is not in the public domain; it is copyrighted, and the copyright holders have legally given permission for everyone to use it in freedom, using a free software license.
		GNU software is software that is released under the auspices of the GNU Project.

	Open Source, Freely Redistributable Software: an Introduction
		Free software is free in the sense of freedom, libre in Spanish, kebebasan in Bahasa Melayu.
		When someone prevents you from studying, modifying, or redistributing software to which you have a legal right, your first step should be to ask them politely to fulfill their obligation to you.
		Free software provides more than a solution; it provides the means for people to learn and become as good as or better than the programmers who wrote the software.

	Free Software (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		We believe that development and use of free software is not simply a worthy ideological goal; it is also of practical benefit to both users and developers.
		High-quality free software is widely used, evolves quickly because users are free to change all as they need, and is thereby more portable than proprietary software.
		The Free Software Resources page is a nice introduction to all aspects of free software - writing it, selling it, picking a license, &c.

		Free Software Foundation and author of the 1994 book, A Quarter Century of Unix, issued a call for papers to members of the GNU Project's "system-discuss" mailing list.
		Stallman may no longer be the solitary leader of the free software movement, but he is still the polestar of the free software community.
		Since software construction is inherently a systems effort-an exercise in complex interrelationships-communication effort is great, and it quickly dominates the decrease in individual task time brought about by partitioning.

		This has led to the installation of large dedicated archives whose sole purpose is to build up repositories of this software wherever there is the demand.
		This is followed by a discussion of a proposed European wide scheme to make FTP archives more effective by co-operative effort and finishes with a preview of software currently under development at HENSA Unix which addresses the problem through a new, more flexible and scalable approach based on a combination of caching and mirroring.

	Free Software
		The nearest thing to "utter" freedom would be to place works "in the public domain." Unfortunately, the legal consequence of placing works "in the public domain" is that someone may often pick them up and treat them as their own proprietary property, thus completely restricting access to the work.
		The two most common licenses for "free software" are the GNU Public License and the BSD License.
		It is rather of what conditions are needed for developers of free software to consider the code to be "safe" to invest their time in it.

	Free Software
		Free Software is also referred to as Freed Software, Liberated Software (software libre) or FRS (freely redistributable software).
		The precise meaning of Free Software is spelled out in the Debian Free Software Guidelines or the Free Software Definition while Open Source is defined officially by the Open Source Definition.
		Open Source and Free Software refer to, originally the same (around Feb 1998), but now different but largely similiar, set of software, but they emphasize different rationals; see Why ``Free Software'' is better than ``Open Source'' for more explanation.

	Database P&D Online
		When a company puts resources into a software package that it owns, there is a tight coupling between the success of the software package and the success of the company.
		In the case of a freely redistributable software package such as Perl, the coupling is much looser: O'Reilly certainly has no shortage of books on Perl, but Perl's success does not guarantee increased book sales.
		Corporations simply don't have hearts to pour into software, but they can do the next best thing: pay their employees to make nonproprietary enhancements to the software.
