Escape to Freedom: A video from the FSF


WHAT IS GNU?

GNU is an operating system that is free software—that is, it respects users'
freedom. The GNU operating system consists of GNU packages (programs
specifically released by the GNU Project) as well as free software released by
third parties. The development of GNU made it possible to use a computer without
software that would trample your freedom.

We recommend installable versions of GNU (more precisely, GNU/Linux
distributions) which are entirely free software. More about GNU below.

WHAT IS THE FREE SOFTWARE MOVEMENT?

The free software movement campaigns to win for the users of computing the
freedom that comes from free software. Free software puts its users in control
of their own computing. Nonfree software puts its users under the power of the
software's developer. See the video explanation.


WHAT IS FREE SOFTWARE?

Free software means the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study,
change and improve the software.

Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you
should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.”

More precisely, free software means users of a program have the four essential
freedoms:

 * The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
 * The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your
   computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a
   precondition for this.
 * The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
 * The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom
   3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from
   your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Developments in technology and network use have made these freedoms even more
important now than they were in 1983.

Nowadays the free software movement goes far beyond developing the GNU system.
See the Free Software Foundation's web site for more about what we do, and a
list of ways you can help.


MORE ABOUT GNU

GNU is a Unix-like operating system. That means it is a collection of many
programs: applications, libraries, developer tools, even games. The development
of GNU, started in January 1984, is known as the GNU Project. Many of the
programs in GNU are released under the auspices of the GNU Project; those we
call GNU packages.

The name “GNU” is a recursive acronym for “GNU's Not Unix.” “GNU” is pronounced
g'noo, as one syllable, like saying “grew” but replacing the r with n.

The program in a Unix-like system that allocates machine resources and talks to
the hardware is called the “kernel.” GNU is typically used with a kernel called
Linux. This combination is the GNU/Linux operating system. GNU/Linux is used by
millions, though many call it “Linux” by mistake.

GNU's own kernel, the GNU Hurd, was started in 1990 (before Linux was started).
Volunteers continue developing the Hurd because it is an interesting technical
project.

This year, choose Freedom as a gift. Ethical Tech Giving Guide

The GNU Project strongly urges the community to communicate in ways that are
friendly, welcoming and kind. See the GNU Kind Communications Guidelines.
