free software

Free software does NOT mean that you do not have to pay to get it. Free software is a matter of freedom, not price. In order for software to be free, users must be able to run, copy, distribute (with a fee or without a fee), study, change and improve the software.

Do not confuse free software with open source software. Although they are very similar, the philosophy behind them is different. Free software is about ethics and open source software is about being practical.

It's pretty amazing that so many people illegally use proprietary software as if it was free software. Why don't they just use free software and avoid legal issues?

Fredericka

Fredericka is a lovely person who you just can't help but love. She is very understanding and is almost like a mother figure to all. She can be a bit annoying with her overwhelming care but that's the beauty of it. She is mostly down to earth and doesn't like to overdress but when she does..... It's a sight to behold. She is great and anyone is lucky to have her.

That girl is really caring. She must be a Fredericka
