in order for the users to have
control over a program

or some other work that
they use to do practical jobs

the users need four essential freedoms.

Freedom zero is the freedom
to use the work as you wish

to run the program as you wish

doing whatever job you want to do

Freedom one is the freedom to study the
work in the best possible form

and change it so that the work does the
job the way you wish.

In the case of software, this means
to study the real

source code and change that.

Well, these two freedoms provide
individual control over the program

or other work

meaning, each user can adapt the work
to that user's needs.

For collective control, we need two more
essential freedoms.

Freedom two is the freedom to
redistribute exact copies

and freedom three is the freedom to
redistribute your modified versions.

This allows the people in a group to
cooperate with each other

as they make changes in the program or
other work

And also to offer their version to others
if they wish.

So, with these four freedoms, the users
control the work

and they control what they do with it.

In the case of software, the users can
control their computing

And that's what this is fundamentally
about- users deserve to have control

of their own computing.

It's wrong for someone else to control
your computing.

That's an injustice.

And we should get rid of that.
