+Introduction
+
+Background
+
+	In the 1960es software was always bundled to hardware and came in the source code
+
+	This didn't change very much during the 70s, because hardware was expensive
+
+	binary-only proprietary software became very strong in the early 80s

+
+	Was unwilling to give up the freedom he had through the source code
+
+	Had already written Emacs, the famos editor
+
+	Decided to do something against it in fall 1983

+What is free software
+
+According to Richard Stallmans definition, free software has the following freedoms:
+
+	Freedom to use the program for every purpose
+	Freedom to study how the program works and to adapt it to your own needs. Access to the source code is a precondition for this
+	Freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
+	Freedom to improve the program and release the changes to the public, so that the whole community benefits. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
+

+Copyleft
+
+Copyleft is a special enhancement to free software
+
+Copyleft is defined by the GNU GPL (General Public License)
+
+It adds certain distribution terms for the software and any derived work
+
+	If you redistribute a copylefted software to anybody, you license it including the sourcecode under the terms of the GPL
+
+	All derived work from the program is subject to the GPL, too.
+

+Other free software licenses
+
+Apart from the GNU copyleft free software license (GPL) there are some other non-copyleft free software licenses.
+
+The BSD (Berkley Software Distribution) license and the XFree86 license are the best-known examples
+
+These licenses don't protect the software from being used in proprietary software products.

+Open source
+
+
+Open source is a totally different ideology than free software. 
+
+The open source movement has the goal to produce stable software through availability of the source code to the public.  Compare this to the aim of the free software movement: Freedom for all users.
+
+Open source licenses may restrict publications of derived work as well as redistribution.
+
+Please use the term 'free software' if you talk about linux and other projects licensed under the terms of the GPL or BSD license.
