Detailed explanation-1: -“Free software” means software that respects users’ freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price.
Detailed explanation-2: -The least restrictive no-cost programs are programs without copyright–i.e., free software–that are in the public domain. Freeware is often created by independent developers and made available for download on their own websites or through third-party app stores.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Free Software Definition written by Richard Stallman and published by the Free Software Foundation (FSF), defines free software as being software that ensures that the end users have freedom in using, studying, sharing and modifying that software.
