Three Software Freedoms
He has a valid point about restructuring the three freedoms that he did keep to make sense.  However that &#x27;zeroth freedom&#x27;, which both the FSF and he initially forgot, is important as well.<p>&quot;The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose&quot;<p>This is about licences that restricted possible uses of software.  Just as you are free to drive your vehicle anywhere * , and transport anything * while using it, so to should you be free to use software the same way.<p>( * the point is no artificial additional restrictions, not literally wildcard)<p>Multiple edits: I will never get used to the crazy custom syntax HN posts have.  It isn&#x27;t pure plain text (maybe with hyperlinks), a form of psudeocode tagging, or markdown like.
