Free software, as defined by the Free Software Foundation, is software which 
can be used, copied, studied, modified and redistributed with little or no 
restriction. Freedom from such restrictions is central to the concept, with 
the opposite of free software being proprietary software (a distinction 
unrelated to whether a fee is charged). The usual way for software to be 
distributed as free software is for the software to be licensed to the 
recipient with a free software license (or be in the public domain), and the 
source code of the software to be made available (for a compiled language).
