Why use free software

- Using free software is to make a political and ethical decision asserting the right to learn and share what we learn with others. Users of free software are denied these freedoms and benefits. If they make a copy of a proprietary program and give it to a friend, if they try to figure out how a program works or if they put more than one copy on computers in their house they could be caught, fined or put in jail. These are things often stated in the agreement you accept when using proprietary software.

The corporations and individuals behind proprietary software have been found to perform various nefarious activities such as spying on users who install their programs, malicious activity such as restricting what you can or cannot install on your device and selling your data to third party companies. This represents an unacceptable risk in our ever-growing digital lives and is a danger to our free society.
