*［2008年5月15日，中国北京，哲思自由软件社区］*什么是自由软件？自由软件 
强调的是用户运行、学习、修改和发行软件的自由，而不是价格。具体来讲，自由 
软件赋予了用户如下4个自由度：

   0. 出于任何目的，运行软件的自由。
   1. 学习软件如何工作，以及为了满足自己的需要修改软件的自由。（显然，这
      个自由度的前提是能够访问软件的源代码）
   2. 为了帮助你的邻居，将软件拷贝给他的自由。
   3. 为了能够让整个社团受益，公开发行改进之后的软件的自由。（显然，这个
      自由度的前提是能够访问软件的源代码）

Richard Stallman在1983年发起了自由软件运动。经过25年的发展，自由软件已经 
在各个领域取得了巨大的成功。在我们的日常生活和工作中，自由软件已经成为不 
可或缺的一部分。

为了帮助中国自由软件社区，甚至整个IT产业充分理解自由软件，哲思自由软件社 
区将于2008年5月24日－5月31日在北京、上海和西安三地分别举办“2008年哲思自 
由软件峰会”。参加此次峰会的演讲嘉宾有：Richard Stallman、倪光南、霍亮、

网；峰会的合作伙伴是：自由软件基金会、GNU工程、互动在线、华章公司、

*[Beijing, China May 15, 2008 ZEUUX Free Software Community]* What is 
Free Software? Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, 
copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More

      (freedom 2).
   3. The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements
      to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3).
      Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
