>windows 10

>>60093542
Stop the "Windows 10 is free" meme already. It isn't. Abusing the continued offering for the impaired (1) still requires a base Windows 7 or 8/8.1 license, which is decidedly not free, and (2) is in direct violation to copyright laws, letting the copyright holder determine how their software is acquired and used, plus it's an evasion of DRM. Other than that, Microsoft Windows 10 offerings are all $100 and above.

“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. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer”. We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish word for “free” as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis.

We campaign for these freedoms because everyone deserves them. With these freedoms, the users (both individually and collectively) control the program and what it does for them. When users don't control the program, we call it a “nonfree” or “proprietary” program. The nonfree program controls the users, and the developer controls the program; this makes the program an instrument of unjust power.

I read this in RMS' voice and got a boner, both philosophically and physically.

I get freedom for free. Makes sense.

>>60092933
Exactly. I bought ZorinOS Ultimate and I'm very happy with it.

>>60092933
Freedom aint free you need to fight for it

>>60093519
Nowhere, it cannot be called free because it doesn't respect essential user freedoms.
