"Think of free as in free
speech, not as in free beer”
Free software I believe to be as the title of this post as in freedom of speech not beer. Free (libre) Open Source Software FLOSS lets you as the user to be able to use the program as you wish and be able to change a program to suit you the user and your needs. Being able to reproduce your software as you wish and to whom you wish also lets you use the software as free software. If it doesn’t do these things it is called proprietary software meaning it keeps the users divided and the software has power over you.
Examples of FLOSS software:
Open office: Used for word processing, spread sheets, presentations data bases and more.
Mozilla Firefox: Site of the open source browser it is a program used to surf the internet just like internet explorer or safari
Blender: A 3D rendering modeling and animating application.
Audacity: Is free open source software for recording and editing sounds
Inkscape: program used to edit vector graphics
