6 | |||
7 | The GNU Assembly produces _free software_, also referred to as “_libre_ | ||
8 | software”, “liberating software”, or “open source”. Software is “free” | ||
9 | if it _respects its user’s freedom_, namely the following four essential | ||
10 | freedoms: | ||
11 | |||
12 | 1. The freedom to run the program as the user wishes, for any purpose. | ||
13 | 2. The freedom to study how the program works and to change it to suit | ||
14 | their needs. | ||
15 | 3. The freedom to redistribute it. | ||
16 | 4. The freedom to distribute copies of modified versions. | ||
17 | |||
18 | These criteria were spelled out by Richard M. Stallman in the 1980s. | ||
19 | The defense of the freedom of computer users are at the core of the | ||
