Using proprietary software is not +development; it makes society dependent, not strong.</p> + +<p>Proprietary software such as MS Windows and the Macintosh system is +distributed in a scheme to keep the users divided and helpless. The +users are divided because each user is forbidden to share the program +with anyone else; they are helpless because the “plans” of the +software, the source code, are secret. Users can't feasibly change +the program, or even verify that it does what the developer says (and +not anything else that the developer didn't say).</p> + +<p>The way to avoid being divided and helpless is to use free software. +Free software respects users' freedom. Specifically, free software +means users have four essential freedoms: they are free to run the +software, free to study its source code and change it to do what they +want, free to redistribute copies, and free to publish modified +versions. Free software is part of human knowledge.</p> + +<p>Increasing the use of free software makes society more capable. Free +software can be freely used, understood, maintained and adapted by +local people anywhere in the world. This is true development.</p> + +<p>By contrast, increasing use of proprietary software means deepening +society's dependency on a few corporations in rich countries. +Proprietary software is secret technology, which local people are +forbidden to understand, forbidden to maintain, forbidden to adapt, +and forbidden to extend. It can be used only under the direct control +of a single corporation, or else illegally. Dependence on proprietary +software is not development, it is electronic colonization.</p> + +<p>For more information on free software and the popular GNU/Linux +operating system, see www.gnu.org.</p> + +</div><!-- for id="content", starts in the include above --> +<!--#include virtual="/server/footer.html" --> +<div id="footer"> +<div class="unprintable"> + +<p>Please send general FSF & GNU inquiries to +<a href="mailto:gnu@gnu.org"><gnu@gnu.org></a>. +There are also <a href="/contact/">other ways to contact</a> +the FSF.
