Free Software
From Chemical Engineering @ UP wiki
(Redirected from Free software)
Free software as opposed to proprietary software is software that comes with lots of rights you usually don't have when buying software, namely
- The right to modify the software (which usually entails having the Source code available, leading to another name for such software -- Open Source software. Open source is a misnomer)
- The right to resell the software with or without your modifications
- The right to make copies of the software for personal or business use.
Quite different from the usual EULA we all click accept on.
