Sobre Programas Livres
Informática é uma questão de liberdade: as pessoas deveriam ter a liberdade de usar programas de todas as maneiras socialmente úteis. Programas de computador diferem de objetos materiais — como cadeiras, sanduíches e gasolina — em que podem ser copiados e alterados muito mais facilmente. Essas possibilidades tornam os programas tão úteis; cremos que usuários de Informática deveriam poder utilizá-las.
