+<h2>Philosophy of the GNU Project</h2>

+See <a href="http://audio-video.gnu.org/">audio-video.gnu.org</a>

+
+<p><em>Free software</em> means that the software's users have
+freedom. (The issue is not about price.) We developed the GNU
+operating system so that users can have freedom in their
+computing.</p>
+
+<p>Specifically, free software means users have
+the <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">four essential freedoms</a>:
+(0) to run the program, (1) to study and change the program in source
+code form, (2) to redistribute exact copies, and (3) to distribute
+modified versions.</p>
+
+<p>Software differs from material objects&mdash;such as chairs,
+sandwiches, and gasoline&mdash;in that it can be copied and changed
+much more easily. These facilities are why software is useful; we
+believe a program's users should be free to take advantage of them,
+not solely its developer.</p>
