1. freedom to study it
2. freedom to modify it
3. freedom to redistribute it

"Unemployment would disappear from the face of the earth forever, for consider the magnitude of the task of adapting the network’s software to all the new generations of computer, coming closer and closer upon the heels of their predecessors until the entire population of the world is caught up in an infinite crescendo of on-line interactive debugging."
-- JCR Licklider 1968

this is the vision of the software freedom warriors (sfws) in their own words. be on your guard
