+# What’s “free software”?
+
+The GNU Assembly produces _free software_, also referred to as “_libre_
+software”, “liberating software”, or “open source”.  Software is “free”
+if it _respects its user’s freedom_, namely the following four essential
+freedoms:
+
+  1. The freedom to run the program as the user wishes, for any purpose.
+  2. The freedom to study how the program works and to change it to suit
+     their needs.
+  3. The freedom to redistribute it.
+  4. The freedom to distribute copies of modified versions.
+
+These criteria were spelled out by Richard M. Stallman in the 1980s.
+The defense of the freedom of computer users are at the core of the
+[Social Contract](/en/documents/social-contract) of the GNU Assembly.
