自由 軟體運動 是 什麼 ?
The free software movement campaigns to win for the users of computing the freedom that comes from free software. Free software puts its users in control of their own computing. Nonfree software puts its users under the power of the software's developer. See the video explanation.
自由 軟體是 什麼 ?
Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.”
依 照 你的想 法 執行 該程式 的 自由 ,無論 任 何 目的 (自由 之 零 )。研究 該程式 如何 運 作 、並 將之 修 改 來 讓 電腦 運算 符合 你所設 想 的 自由 (自由 之 壹 )。能 存 取 程 式 的 源 始 碼 (source code)是 這項自由 的 先決 條件 。再 次 散 佈程式 副本 的 自由 ,如此你就能 幫助他人 (自由 之 貳 )。將 你所修 改 後 的 版本 作成 副本 散布 給 他人 的 自由 (自由 之 參 )。如此一來你就讓社群整體有機會因為你的改動而受益。能 存 取 源 始 碼是這項自由 的 先決 條件 。
Nowadays the free software movement goes far beyond developing the GNU system. See the Free Software Foundation's web site for more about what we do, and a list of ways you can help.
深入 瞭 解 GNU
GNU
「GNU」
The program in a Unix-like system that allocates machine resources and talks to the hardware is called the “kernel.” GNU is typically used with a kernel called Linux. This combination is the GNU/Linux operating system. GNU/Linux is used by millions, though many call it “Linux” by mistake.
GNU's own kernel, the GNU Hurd, was started in 1990 (before Linux was started). Volunteers continue developing the Hurd because it is an interesting technical project.
