Free Software Essay
This is an essay that I did for my English class recently. It was supposed to be informative, what do you think?
Imagine a world in which computer software was free. Now, imagine a world where software can be modified in whatever way the user desires. This is the world of free software. Free software has been touted as an evil entity by large companies, such as Microsoft, but these companies often use lies and miscommunication to make free software seem like it is an evil entity trying to steal form people that work hard and get paid to make software. Free software was designed to give people freedom in choice for the software that they used, and freedom to do what they wanted to with it. (Glynn)
Free software is defined as software that everybody is free to copy, redistribute and modify the source code. When most people think of the term, “free software,” they think of free as in beer.
