Which Four Essential Freedoms Does FOSS Guarantee Users?
💡 The Answer
- FOSS gives users the right to use, share, modify, and distribute software.
- These rights originate from the 'Four Essential Freedoms' of the Free Software Definition.
- All FOSS must provide publicly available source code to exercise those rights.
- Not all source-available software qualifies as FOSS—only if it grants those freedoms.
