+\section*{Free Software (Swathanthra Software)}
+
+“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”.
+
+\textbf{Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.} More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \itemsep0em
+ \item The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
+ \item The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
+ \item The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
+ \item The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
+\end{enumerate}
