<h1>Software shapes society. Free Software improves it.</h1> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
Watch our new video demonstrating how different practices in software lead |
|
to different models of society. Software is intangible, but its results |
|
often are not. The decisions we make about what type of software we use have |
|
real-life effects. There is a type of software that benefits the common |
|
good, and that is Free Software. |

If you ever looked for a video that explains the values of Free Software |
|
in three minutes, look no further. |

|
The transparency and adaptability of <a href="/freesoftware/index.html">Free |
|
Software</a> enhance cooperation, inclusivity, and self-determination. This |
|
leads us to a society with stronger democratic procedures and community |
|
spirit. "The difference between Free and proprietary software is that Free |
|
Software always grants us four rights: <strong>any person may freely use, |
|
study, share, and improve the software</strong>. If software is developed |
|
under a free license, then anyone can use it without restrictions, |
|
anytime and anywhere. Since the source code can be read by anyone, this |
|
allows for more transparency and can lead to more security. People can work |
|
together across borders on problems that affect humanity; they can share the |
|
software, discuss it, and improve it collectively." |

|
For our <a href="/activities/20years/20years.html">20th anniversary</a> we |
|
have produced this video so more people can learn what software freedom |
|
entails. If you want to dive deeper into this, the script of the video is based on |
|
a <a href="https://archive.fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/software_freedom/">talk |
|
at FOSDEM 2020</a> given by Matthias Kirschner, President of the FSFE. It |
|
reflects the core values of software freedom and pleads for more respect and |
|
diversity in Free Software communities. |

|
Please share the video with your friends so that they can also learn what |
|
Software Freedom is about. |
