+<h3>About Free Software</h3>
+<p>
+Free software is a matter of freedom: people should be free to use
+software in all the ways that are socially useful. Software differs
+from material objects—such as chairs, sandwiches, and
+gasoline—in that it can be copied and changed much more easily.
+These possibilities make software as useful as it is; we believe
+software users should be able to make use of them.</p>

+<p>
+This article takes a narrowly economic view of its subject, measuring
+social alternatives only by what goods are available for what price,
+assuming that you the citizen are a mere consumer and place no value
+on your freedom in itself. It also uses the misleading term
+<a
href="/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#IntellectualProperty">“intellectual
+property”</a>, which is misleading because it lumps copyrights and
+patents together. The article also lumps them together, which it can
+get away with because it ignores the (different) social issues that
+copyrights and patents raise.
+</p><p>
+Despite those flaws, it is significant. If one can judge copyright to
+be harmful even on narrow economic terms, disregarding the ethical
+wrong of stopping people from sharing, it can only be more harmful
+once we consider the ethics as well.

Economic Absurdity</a>: This article adopts as a premise the popular view that
free trade is desirable. We don't always agree - beyond a certain point, free
trade gives businesses too much power, allowing them to intimidate democracy.
But that is a different matter. </li><!-- Description text by RMS -->

+ letter to the editor of the Communications of the ACM (vol.3, no.4,
+ pp.A12-A13), saying in part (mentioning price, but clearly implying
+ freedom):
+ <blockquote>
+ <p>
+ … it is clear that what is being
+ charged for is the development of the program, and
+ while I am particularly unhappy that it comes from a
+ university, I believe it is damaging to the whole
+ profession. There isn't a 704 installation that hasn't
+ directly benefited from the free exchange of programs
+ made possible by the distribution facilities of SHARE.
+ If we start to sell our programs, this will set very
+ undesirable precedents.
