<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.
|
|

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