10 GNU Emacs is legally owned by the Free Software Foundation, but we | |
11 regard the foundation more as its custodian on behalf of the public. | |
12 | |
13 In the GNU project, when we speak of "free software", this refers to | |
14 liberty, not price. Specifically, it refers to the users' freedom to | |
15 study, copy, change and improve the software. Sometimes users pay | |
16 money for copies of GNU software, and sometimes they get copies at no | |
17 charge. But regardless of how they got the software, or whether it | |
18 was modified by anyone else along the way, they have the freedom to | |
19 copy and change it--those freedoms are what "free software" means. | |
20 | |
21 The precise conditions for copying and modification are stated in the | |
22 document "GNU General Public License," a copy of which is required to | |
23 be distributed with every copy of GNU Emacs. It is usually in a file | |
24 named `COPYING' in the same directory as this file. These conditions | |
25 are designed to make sure that everyone who has a copy of GNU Emacs | |
26 (including modified versions) has the freedom to redistribute and | |
27 change it. | |

40 GNU Emacs is distributed with no warranty (see the General Public | |

44 of people who are willing to offer support and assistance for hire. | |
