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.
