+ website
+ Added Harbour website (except art, docs and stat subdirs)
; TODO: configure automatic mechanism to extract site from
here and regularly updload to sf.net web area
; TODO: Clean HTML code, remove unused picture/files, avoid JS
Any takers?
; NOTE: Please make modifications to website code only in
SVN, then upload the content to web server manually.
IOW never update on web server directly.

<H2><A NAME="13"></A>2.7. What is "free software"?<A NAME="FreeSoftware"></A></H2>
|
|
<p>In general terms free software is one phrase for describing software that
|
|
comes with certain freedoms, the free doesn't speak about the price, it
|
|
speaks about your freedoms to use the software. A common suggestion is that
|
|
you think "free speech" instead of "free beer".</p>
|
|
<p>See <A href="http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/free-sw.html</A> for the Free
|
|
Software Foundation's definition of "free software".</p>
|
|
<p>A related term is OpenSource, you can find out more about the idea of
|
|
OpenSource at <A href="http://www.opensource.org/">http://www.opensource.org/</A>. You might also
|
|
want to note that the FSF don't consider OpenSource and Free Software to be
|
|
the same thing, see <A href="http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html">http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html</A> for more
|
|
details.</p>
