The " very seductive " moral and ethical rhetoric of Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation fails, he said, " not because his principles are wrong, but because that kind of language ... simply does not persuade anybody ".

The Free Software Foundation advises people to " avoid using terms like ' give away ' or ' for free ,' because those terms imply that the issue is about price, not freedom.

Stallman founded the Free Software Foundation in 1985 to provide the organizational structure to advance his free software ideas.

Richard Stallman, the founder of the Free Software Movement

Software development for the GNU operating system began in January 1984, and the Free Software Foundation ( FSF ) was founded in October 1985.

The FSF recommends using the term " free software " rather than " open source software " because, as they state in a paper on Free Software philosophy, the latter term and the associated marketing campaign focuses on the technical issues of software development, avoiding the issue of user freedoms.

" Stallman states that while the term " Free Software " can lead to two different interpretations, one of them is consistent with FSF definition of Free Software so there is at least some chance that it could be understood properly, unlike the term " Open Source ".

Stallman founded the Free Software Foundation in 1985 to support the movement.

Members of the free software movement believe that all users of software should have the freedoms listed in The Free Software Definition.

The Free Software Foundation also believes all software needs free documentation, in particular because conscientious programmers should be able to update manuals to reflect modification that they made to the software ), but deems the freedom to modify less important for other types of written works.

Congressmen Dr Edgar David Villanueva and Jacques Rodrich Ackerman have been instrumental in introducing in Republic of Peru bill 1609 on " Free Software in Public Administration ".

Dr Villanueva's response received worldwide attention and is still seen as a classical piece of argumentation favouring use of Free Software in Governments.

The Free Software Definition, written by Richard Stallman and published by Free Software Foundation ( FSF ), defines free software as a matter of liberty, not price.

Despite the fundamental philosophical differences between the free software movement and the open source movement, the official definitions of free software by the Free Software Foundation and of open source software by the Open Source Initiative basically refer to the same software licences, with a few minor exceptions.

While stressing the philosophical differences, the Free Software Foundation comments:

According to the Free Software Foundation, " freeware " is a loosely defined category and it has no clear accepted definition, although FSF says it must be distinguished from free software ( libre ).

The Free Software Foundation ( FSF ) has formally defined the term " Free software " in 1986 and requested that people avoid referring to " Free Software " as " freeware ".

Free software licenses are not written exclusively by the FSF.

To make it easier for companies based on Free Software to be commercially successful, the FSF Europe also seeks to broaden the market for Free Software.

GNU / Linux is a term promoted by the Free Software Foundation ( FSF ), its founder Richard Stallman, and its supporters, for operating systems that include GNU software and the Linux kernel.

Denominations like the Anabaptists ( beginning in 1525 ), and Waldensians ( pre-Reformation ), and other groups prior to the Reformation have also held this view of the Free Will of man.

Boer (,, or ; ) is the Dutch and Afrikaans word for farmer, which came to denote the descendants of the Dutch-speaking settlers of the eastern Cape frontier in Southern Africa during the 18th century, as well as those who left the Cape Colony during the 19th century to settle in the Orange Free State, Transvaal ( which are together known as the Boer Republics ), and to a lesser extent Natal.

Though the Boers accepted British rule without resistance in 1877, they fought two wars in the late 19th century to defend their internationally recognized independent countries, the republics of the Transvaal ( the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, or ZAR ) and the Orange Free State ( OFS ), against the threat of annexation by the British Crown.

They contend that the Boers of the South African Republic ( ZAR ) and Orange Free State republics were recognized as a separate people or cultural group under international law by the Sand River Convention ( which created the South African Republic in 1852 ), the Bloemfontein Convention ( which created the Orange Free State Republic in 1854 ), the Pretoria Convention ( which re-established the independence of the South African Republic 1881 ), the London Convention ( which granted the full independence to the South African Republic in 1884 ) and the Vereeniging Peace Treaty, which formally ended the Second Anglo-Boer War on 31 May 1902.
