"About Free Software
Free Software is about freedom. It gives you the freedom to adapt software to your needs, as an individual or business.

 

For companies, it provides an escape from vendor "lock-in" by creating a free market in support and services including refurbished laptops

With free software, everyone has the freedom to cooperate with others in using and improving it."
