+<h2>A guide to helping the GNU operating system</h2>
+
+<p>The GNU Volunteer Coordinators <a
+href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a> can assist you if you
+wish to help the GNU Project. They will be able to put you in touch with
+other people interested in or working on similar projects. When you have
+selected a task from our task lists, please let them know you're
+interested in working on it.</p>
+
+<p>Please let the GNU Volunteer Coordinators <a
+href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a> know if you take on
+any task from this list. We want to keep track of what tasks our
+volunteers are working on.</p>
+
+<p>For general questions about the GNU project, mail <a

+suggestions about this web site, mail <a

+
+
+<h3 id="helpgnu">How to help the GNU Project</h3>
+<p>
+This list is ordered roughly with the more urgent items near the top.
+Please note that many things on this list link to larger, expanded lists.
+</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Help improve <a href="http://savannah.gnu.org";>Savannah</a>. We
+ are looking for technical volunteers to help handle pending project
+ submissions, improve older PHP code, work on the Perl backend, and
+ help with various anti-spam systems. If you can help with any of
+ these items, please email us
+ at <a href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a>. Improving
+ Savannah will make development easier for the nearly 3,000 free
+ software projects hosted there.</li>
+
+ <li>Volunteer to extend the
+ <a id="FreeSoftwareDirectory" href="http://directory.fsf.org/";>
+ Free Software Directory</a>. This task entails downloading free
+ software packages, digging up information about these packages,
+ and checking and verifying the licenses of the programs.
+ <a href="/help/directory.html">You can read details of how to
+ help the project</a>. If you are interested in volunteering
+ for this task, please
+ contact <a
+ href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a>.</li>
+
+ <li>Organize a new <a href="/gnu/gnu-user-groups.html">GNU/Linux
+ User Group</a>.</li>
+
+ <li>Organize a new Free Software Activist Group to promote use
+ of free software in your country, region or city.</li>
+
+ <li>Set an example by switching to a <em>completely</em> <a
+ href="/software/software.html">free software</a> operating system.
+ The easiest way to do that is to install and use one of the <a
+ href="/links/links.html#FreeGNULinuxDistributions"> free GNU/Linux
+ distributions</a>.</li>
+
+ <li>Write free software:
+ <ul>
+ <li>The <a href="http://savannah.gnu.org/people/?type_id=1";>GNU
+ Help Wanted</a> list is the general task list for GNU software
+ packages. You might also consider taking over one of the <a
+ href="/server/takeaction.html#unmaint">unmaintained GNU
+ packages</a>.</li>
+
+ <li>When writing software for GNU, please follow the <a
+ href="/prep/standards/">GNU Coding Standards</a> and <a
+ href="/prep/maintain/">Information for Maintainers of GNU
+ Software</a> documents.</li>
+
+ <li>To offer software you have written to GNU, please see this
+ <a href="/help/evaluation.html">GNU software evaluation</a>
+ information. We also welcome volunteers to help us do the
+ evaluations; information on the same page.</li>
+
+ <li>We are sometimes offered software which already does
+ substantially the same task as an existing GNU package.
+ Although of course we appreciate all offers, we'd naturally like
+ to encourage programmers to spend their time writing free
+ software to do new jobs, not already-solved ones. So, before
+ starting a new program, please check the <a
+ href="http://directory.fsf.org/";>Free Software Directory</a> for
+ free software that does the job already.</li>
+
+ <li>We can offer <a href="/software/devel.html">some
+ resources</a> to help GNU software developers.
+ </li>
+ </ul></li>
+
+ <li id="documentation">Write documentation for GNU software,
+ using these <a href="/doc/potentialauthors.html">resources, tips,
+ and hints</a>.</li>
+
+ <li>Volunteer as a “Freedom Verifier” to check
+ whether a given distribution contains only
+ free software, so it can be included on the
+ <a href="/links/links.html#FreeGNULinuxDistributions">list
+ of free distributions</a>.</li>
+
+ <li id="helptranslations">Translate the GNU Web site into other
+ languages. More information about the issue can be found at the
+ <a href="/server/standards/README.translations.html">Guide to
+ Translating the www.gnu.org Web Pages</a>. Write to <a
+ href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a> if
+ you want to help.</li>
+
+ <li>Tell others about the GNU Project and the Free Software
+ Foundation by:
+ <ul>
+ <li>informing your friends about the GNU <a
+ href="/philosophy/philosophy.html">philosophy</a> and <a
+ href="/software/software.html">software</a>.</li>
+
+ <li>informing your friends that the “Linux”
+ operating system is really <a
+ href="/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html">GNU/Linux</a>: that is, the GNU
+ system, plus Linux, the kernel. Simply making a consistent and
+ unfailing distinction between GNU/Linux (the whole system) and
+ Linux (the kernel) when you write or speak about the system will
+ <a href="/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html">help us greatly</a>, while
+ taking very little time once you have unlearned the old habit.</li>
+
+ <li>by both <a href="/help/linking-gnu.html">adding a link to
+ GNU's home page</a> to your home pages, and suggesting that
+ others do likewise.</li>
+ </ul></li>
+
+ <li>When you are talking with people that don't value freedom and
+ community, you can show them the many practical advantages of free
+ software (see <a href="http://www.dwheeler.com/oss_fs_why.html";>Why
+ Open Source / Free Software? Look at the Numbers!</a> for some
+ useful evidence). But keep mentioning the ethical issues too!
+ Don't change your voice into an open-source voice just to cater to
+ others.</li>
+
+ <li>Help the FSF raise funds by:
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ making a <a href="http://donate.fsf.org/";>donation</a> to the FSF.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ becoming an <a href="http://member.fsf.org/";>Associate Member</a>
+ of the FSF.
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ choosing the FSF as a beneficiary in
+ your <a href="http://www.affero.com/ca/fsf";>Affero
+ page</a>, linking to your FSF Affero page in your email
+ signature, software project, and writings.
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <a href="http://order.fsf.org/";>ordering</a> manuals,
+ t-shirts and especially CD-ROMs from the FSF. The FSF
+ raises funds partially by selling copies of things
+ that everyone is free to copy.
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ convincing your office to <a href="http://order.fsf.org/";>order</a>
+ manuals, t-shirts, and especially CD-ROMs from the FSF.
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ convincing your office to order
+ a <a href="http://order.fsf.org/";>Deluxe
+ Distribution</a> from the FSF.
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <a href="/philosophy/selling.html">selling free
+ software</a> and donating a part of the proceeds to
+ the <a href="/fsf/fsf.html">Free Software
+ Foundation</a> or some other free software development
+ project. By funding development, you can advance the
+ world of free software.
+ <p>
+ <strong>Distributing free software is an opportunity to raise
+ funds for development. Don't waste it!</strong>
+ </p></li>
+ </ul></li>
+
+ <li>
+ Volunteer to make sure that essays from our
+ <a href="/philosophy/philosophy.html">philosophy page</a>
+ and other GNU URLs are on and/or linked from WWW directory,
+ portal, and various hierarchical web index sites, such as
+ Yahoo!, dmoz.org, and Google. Get these sites to add detailed
+ entries about our different web pages. Make sure that essays
+ from our <a href="/philosophy/philosophy.html">philosophy page</a>
+ and other GNU URLs are linked to often in the appropriate categories.

+<h2>Various Licenses and Comments about Them</h2>
+
+<h2><a id="Introduction">Introduction</a></h2>
+
+<p>We classify a license according to certain key questions:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Whether it qualifies as a
+ <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">free
+ software</a> license.</li>
+ <li>Whether it is a <a
+ href="/copyleft/copyleft.html">copyleft</a>
+ license.</li>
+ <li>Whether it
+ is <a href="/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhatDoesCompatMean">compatible
+ with the GNU GPL</a>. Unless otherwise specified, compatible
+ licenses are compatible with both GPLv2 and GPLv3.</li>
+ <li>Whether it causes any particular practical problems.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If you want help choosing a license, evaluating a license, or have
+any other questions about licenses, you can email us at <a
+href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a>.</p>
+
+<p>If you are contemplating writing a new license, please contact the
+FSF by writing to <a
+href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a>. The
+proliferation of different free software licenses means increased work
+for users in understanding the licenses; we may be able to help you find
+an existing free software license that meets your needs. We try to list
+the most commonly encountered free software license on this page, but
+cannot list them all; we'll try our best to answer questions about free
+software licenses whether or not they are listed here. The licenses are
+more or less in alphabetical order within each section.</p>
+
+<p>If that isn't possible, if you really need a new license, with our
+help you can ensure that the license really is a Free Software license
+and avoid various practical problems.</p>
+
+<p>By the way, if you believe you have found a violation of one of our
+licenses, please refer to
+our <a href="/licenses/gpl-violation.html">license violation page</a>.</p>

+<p>This license is an incomplete statement of the distribution terms
+for LaTeX. As far as it goes, it is a free software license, but
+incompatible with the <a
+href="/licenses/gpl.html">GPL</a> because it has
+many requirements that are not in the GPL.</p>
+<p>This license contains complex and annoying restrictions on how to
+publish a modified version, including one requirement that falls just
+barely on the good side of the line of what is acceptable: that any
+modified file must have a new name.</p>
+<p>The reason this requirement is acceptable for LaTeX is that TeX has
+a facility to allow you to map file names, to specify “use file
+bar when file foo is requested”. With this facility, the
+requirement is merely annoying; without the facility, the same
+requirement would be a serious obstacle, and we would have to conclude
+it makes the program non-free.</p>
+<p>The LPPL says that some files, in certain versions of LaTeX, may have
+additional restrictions, which could render them non-free. For this
+reason, it may take some careful checking to produce a version of
+LaTeX that is free software.</p>
+<p>The LPPL makes the controversial claim that simply having files on a
+machine where a few other people could log in and access them in
+itself constitutes distribution. We believe courts would not uphold
+this claim, but it is not good for people to start making the claim.</p>
+<p>Please do not use this license for any other project.</p>

+Since the QPL is incompatible with the GNU GPL, you cannot take a
+GPL-covered program and QPL-covered program and link them together, no

+However, if you have written a program that uses QPL-covered library
+(called FOO), and you want to release your program under the GNU GPL,
+you can easily do that. You can resolve the conflict <em>for your
+program</em> by adding a notice like this to it:</p>
+<pre>
+ As a special exception, you have permission to link this program
+ with the FOO library and distribute executables, as long as you
+ follow the requirements of the GNU GPL in regard to all of the
+ software in the executable aside from FOO.
+</pre>

+You can do this, legally, if you are the copyright holder for the
+program. Add it in the source files, after the notice that says

+This creates a practical pitfall in using or recommending this
+license: if you recommend “Use the Open Publication License, Version

+Likewise, if you use this license without either of the options to
+make your manual free, someone else might decide to imitate you, then
+change his or her mind about the options thinking that that is just a
+detail; the result would be that his or her manual is non-free.</p>

+ <dd>
+ Free software is software that comes with permission for
+ anyone to use, copy, and distribute, either verbatim or with
+ modifications, either gratis or for a fee. In particular, this
+ means that source code must be available. “If it's not
+ source, it's not software.” This is a simplified
+ definition; see also
+ the <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">full definition</a>.
+ <p>If a program is free, then it can potentially be included
+ in a free operating system such as GNU, or free versions of
+ the <a href="/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html">GNU/Linux
+ system</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>There are many different ways to make a program free—many
+ questions of detail, which could be decided in more than one way
+ and still make the program free. Some of the possible variations
+ are described below. For information on specific free software
+ licenses, see the <a href="/licenses/license-list.html">license
+ list</a> page.</p>
+
+ <p>Free software is a matter of freedom, not price. But
+ proprietary software companies sometimes use the term
+ “free software” to refer to price. Sometimes they
+ mean that you can obtain a binary copy at no charge; sometimes
+ they mean that a copy is included on a computer that you are
+ buying. This has nothing to do with what we mean by free
+ software in the GNU project.</p>
+
+ <p>Because of this potential confusion, when a software company
+ says its product is free software, always check the actual
+ distribution terms to see whether users really have all the
+ freedoms that free software implies. Sometimes it really is free
+ software; sometimes it isn't.</p>
+
+ <p>Many languages have two separate words for
+ “free” as in freedom and “free” as in
+ zero price. For example, French has “libre” and
+ “gratuit”. Not so English; there is a word
+ “gratis” that refers unambiguously to price, but
+ no common adjective that refers unambiguously to freedom. So
+ if you are speaking another language, we suggest you translate
+ “free” into your language to make it clearer. See
+ our list of <a href=
+ "/philosophy/fs-translations.html">translations of the term
+ “free software”</a> into various other
+ languages.</p>
+
+ <p>Free software is often <a href="/software/reliability.html">more
+ reliable</a> than non-free software.</p>
+
+ </dd>
+
+<dt id="OpenSource"><strong>Open Source software</strong></dt>
+
+ <dd>
+ The term “open source” software is used by some people to
mean
+ more or less the same category as free software. It is not exactly
+ the same class of software: they accept some licenses that we
+ consider too restrictive, and there are free software licenses they
+ have not accepted. However, the differences in extension of the
+ category are small: nearly all free software is open source, and
+ nearly all open source software is free.
+ <p>We prefer the term “<a href=
+ "/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html">free
+ software</a>” because it refers to
+ freedom—something that the term “open
+ source“ does not do.</p>
+ </dd>
+
+<dt id="PublicDomainSoftware"><strong>Public domain
+ software</strong></dt>
+ <dd>Public domain software is software that is not copyrighted. If
+ the source code is in the public domain, that is a special case of
+ <a href="#Non-CopyleftedFreeSoftware">non-copylefted free
+ software</a>, which means that some copies or modified versions
+ may not be free at all.
+ <p>In some cases, an executable program can be in the public domain
+ but the source code is not available. This is not free software,
+ because free software requires accessibility of source code.
+ Meanwhile, most free software is not in the public domain; it is
+ copyrighted, and the copyright holders have legally given
+ permission for everyone to use it in freedom, using a free software
+ license.</p>
+ <p>Sometimes people use the term “public domain”
+ in a loose fashion to
+ mean <a href="#FreeSoftware">“free”</a> or
+ “available gratis.” However, “public
+ domain” is a legal term and means, precisely, “not
+ copyrighted”. For clarity, we recommend using
+ “public domain” for that meaning only, and using
+ other terms to convey the other meanings.</p>
+ <p>Under the Berne Convention, which most countries have signed,
+ anything written down is automatically copyrighted. This includes
+ programs. Therefore, if you want a program you have written to be
+ in the public domain, you must take some legal steps to disclaim
+ the copyright on it; otherwise, the program is copyrighted.</p>
+ </dd>
+
+<dt id="CopyleftedSoftware"><strong>Copylefted software</strong></dt>
+ <dd>Copylefted software is free software whose distribution
+ terms ensure that all copies of all versions are free
+ software. This means, for instance, that copyleft licenses
+ generally disallow others to add additional requirements to
+ the software (though a limited set of safe added requirements
+ can be allowed) and require making source code available.
+ Some copyleft licenses, such as GPL version 3, block other
+ means of turning software proprietary.
+
+ <p>In the GNU Project, we copyleft almost all the software we
+ write, because our goal is to give <em>every</em> user the freedoms
+ implied by the term “free software.” See <a href=
+ "/copyleft/copyleft.html">Copylefted</a> for more explanation of
+ how copyleft works and why we use it.</p>
+ <p>Copyleft is a general concept; to actually copyleft a program,
+ you need to use a specific set of distribution terms. There are
+ many possible ways to write copyleft distribution terms, so in
+ principle there can be many copyleft free software licenses.
+ However, in actual practice nearly all copylefted software uses the
+ <a href="/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU General Public
+ License</a>. Two different copyleft licenses are usually
+ “incompatible”, which means it is illegal to merge
+ the code using one license with the code using the other
+ license; therefore, it is good for the community if people use
+ a single copyleft license.</p>
+ </dd>
+
+<dt id="Non-CopyleftedFreeSoftware"><strong>Non-copylefted free
+ software</strong></dt>
+ <dd>Non-copylefted free software comes from the author with
+ permission to redistribute and modify, and also to add additional
+ restrictions to it.
+ <p>If a program is free but not copylefted, then some copies or
+ modified versions may not be free at all. A software company can
+ compile the program, with or without modifications, and distribute
+ the executable file as a <a href=
+ "#ProprietarySoftware">proprietary</a> software product.</p>
+ <p>The <a href="http://www.x.org";>X Window System</a> illustrates
+ this. The X Consortium releases X11 with distribution terms that
+ make it non-copylefted free software. If you wish, you can get a
+ copy which has those distribution terms and is free. However, there
+ are non-free versions as well, and there are popular workstations
+ and PC graphics boards for which non-free versions are the only
+ ones that work. If you are using this hardware, X11 is not free
+ software for you. <a href="/philosophy/x.html">The developers of
+ X11 even made X11 non-free for a while.</a></p>

+ <dd>The <a href="/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU GPL (General Public

+ terms for most GNU software.</dd>
+<dt id="TheGNUsystem"><strong>The GNU system</strong></dt>
+ <dd>The <a href="/gnu/gnu-history.html">GNU system</a> is the
+ Unix-like operating system, which is entirely free software, that
+ we in the GNU Project have developed since 1984.
+ <p>A Unix-like operating system consists of many programs. The GNU
+ system includes all the GNU software, as well as many other
+ packages such as the X Window System and TeX which are not GNU
+ software.</p>
+ <p>The first test release of the complete GNU system was in 1996.
+ This includes the GNU Hurd, our kernel, developed since 1990. In
+ 2001 the GNU system (including the GNU Hurd) began working fairly
+ reliably, but the Hurd still lacks some important features, so it
+ is not widely used. Meanwhile, the <a href=
+ "/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html">GNU/Linux system</a>, an offshoot of the
+ GNU system which uses Linux as the kernel instead of the GNU Hurd,
+ has been a great success since the 90s.</p>
+ <p>Since the purpose of GNU is to be free, every single component
+ in the GNU system has to be free software. They don't all have to
+ be copylefted, however; any kind of free software is legally
+ suitable to include if it helps meet technical goals. And it isn't
+ necessary for all the components to be GNU software, individually.
+ GNU can and does include non-copylefted free software such as the X
+ Window System that were developed by other projects.</p>

+ <dd><a href="/software/software.html">GNU software</a> is software

+<dt id="semi-freeSoftware"><strong>Semi-free software</strong></dt>
+ <dd>Semi-free software is software that is not free, but comes with
+ permission for individuals to use, copy, distribute, and modify
+ (including distribution of modified versions) for non-profit
+ purposes. PGP is an example of a semi-free program.
+ <p>Semi-free software is much better ethically than <a href=
+ "#ProprietarySoftware">proprietary software</a>, but it still poses
+ problems, and we cannot use it in a free operating system.</p>
+ <p>The restrictions of copyleft are designed to protect the
+ essential freedoms for all users. For us, the only justification
+ for any substantive restriction on using a program is to prevent
+ other people from adding other restrictions. Semi-free programs
+ have additional restrictions, motivated by purely selfish
+ goals.</p>
+ <p>It is impossible to include semi-free software in a free
+ operating system. This is because the distribution terms for the
+ operating system as a whole are the conjunction of the distribution
+ terms for all the programs in it. Adding one semi-free program to
+ the system would make the system <em>as a whole</em> just
+ semi-free. There are two reasons we do not want that to happen:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>We believe that free software should be for
+ everyone—including businesses, not just schools and
+ hobbyists. We want to invite business to use the whole GNU
+ system, and therefore we must not include a semi-free program
+ in it.</li>
+ <li>Commercial distribution of free operating systems, including
+ the <a href="/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html">GNU/Linux system</a>, is very
+ important, and users appreciate the convenience of commercial
+ CD-ROM distributions. Including one semi-free program in an
+ operating system would cut off commercial CD-ROM distribution for
+ it.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>The Free Software Foundation itself is non-commercial, and
+ therefore we would be legally permitted to use a semi-free
+ program “internally”. But we don't do that,
+ because that would undermine our efforts to obtain a program
+ which we could also include in GNU.</p>
+ <p>If there is a job that needs doing with software, then
+ until we have a free program to do the job, the GNU system has
+ a gap. We have to tell volunteers, “We don't have a
+ program yet to do this job in GNU, so we hope you will write
+ one.” If we ourselves used a semi-free program to do the
+ job, that would undermine what we say; it would take away the
+ impetus (on us, and on others who might listen to our views)
+ to write a free replacement. So we don't do that.</p>
+ </dd>
+
+<dt id="ProprietarySoftware"><strong>Proprietary
+ software</strong></dt>
+ <dd>Proprietary software is software that is not free or semi-free.
+ Its use, redistribution or modification is prohibited, or requires
+ you to ask for permission, or is restricted so much that you
+ effectively can't do it freely.
+ <p>The Free Software Foundation follows the rule that we cannot
+ install any proprietary program on our computers except temporarily
+ for the specific purpose of writing a free replacement for that
+ very program. Aside from that, we feel there is no possible excuse
+ for installing a proprietary program.</p>
+ <p>For example, we felt justified in installing Unix on our
+ computer in the 1980s, because we were using it to write a free
+ replacement for Unix. Nowadays, since free operating systems are
+ available, the excuse is no longer applicable; we have eliminated
+ all our non-free operating systems, and any new computer we install
+ must run a completely free operating system.</p>
+ <p>We don't insist that users of GNU, or contributors to GNU, have
+ to live by this rule. It is a rule we made for ourselves. But we
+ hope you will decide to follow it too.</p>

+<dt id="freeware"><strong>Freeware</strong></dt>
+ <dd>The term “freeware” has no clear accepted
+ definition, but it is commonly used for packages which permit

+ so please don't use “freeware” to refer to free

+
+<dt id="shareware"><strong>Shareware</strong></dt>
+ <dd>Shareware is software which comes with permission for people to
+ redistribute copies, but says that anyone who continues to use a
+ copy is <em>required</em> to pay a license fee.
+ <p>Shareware is not free software, or even semi-free. There are two
+ reasons it is not:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>For most shareware, source code is not available; thus, you
+ cannot modify the program at all.</li>
+ <li>Shareware does not come with permission to make a copy and
+ install it without paying a license fee, not even for individuals
+ engaging in nonprofit activity. (In practice, people often
+ disregard the distribution terms and do this anyway, but the terms
+ don't permit it.)</li>
+ </ul>
+ </dd>
+
+<dt id="PrivateSoftware"><strong>Private software</strong></dt>
+ <dd>Private or custom software is software developed for one user
+ (typically an organization or company). That user keeps it and uses
+ it, and does not release it to the public either as source code or
+ as binaries.
+ <p>A private program is free software in a trivial sense if its
+ unique user has full rights to it. However, in a deeper sense, it
+ does not really make sense to pose the question of whether such a
+ program is free software or not.</p>
+ <p>In general we do not believe it is wrong to develop a program
+ and not release it. There are occasions when a program is so useful
+ that withholding it from release is treating humanity badly.
+ However, most programs are not that marvelous, and withholding them
+ is not particularly harmful. Thus, there is no conflict between the
+ development of private or custom software and the principles of the
+ free software movement.</p>
+ <p>Nearly all employment for programmers is in development of
+ custom software; therefore most programming jobs are, or could be,
+ done in a way compatible with the free software movement.</p>
+ </dd>
+
+<dt id="commercialSoftware"><strong>Commercial Software</strong></dt>
+ <dd>Commercial software is software being developed by a

+ commercial software
+ is <a href="#ProprietarySoftware">proprietary</a>, but there
+ is commercial free software, and there is non-commercial
+ non-free software.
+ <p>For example, GNU Ada is always distributed under the terms
+ of the GNU GPL, and every copy is free software; but its
+ developers sell support contracts. When their salesmen speak
+ to prospective customers, sometimes the customers say,
+ “We would feel safer with a commercial compiler.”
+ The salesmen reply, “GNU Ada <em>is</em> a commercial
+ compiler; it happens to be free software.”</p>
+ <p>For the GNU Project, the emphasis is in the other order: the
+ important thing is that GNU Ada is free software; whether it is
+ commercial is not a crucial question. However, the additional
+ development of GNU Ada that results from its being commercial is
+ definitely beneficial.</p>
+ <p>Please help spread the awareness that commercial free
