El software libre […] es la denominación del software que respeta la libertad de los usuarios sobre su producto adquirido y, por tanto, una vez obtenido puede ser usado, copiado, estudiado, modificado y redistribuido libremente. […] El software libre suele estar disponible gratuitamente, o al precio de costo de la distribución a través de otros medios; sin embargo no es obligatorio que sea así, por lo tanto no hay que asociar software libre a "software gratuito" (denominado usualmente freeware), ya que, conservando su carácter de libre, puede ser distribuido comercialmente ("software comercial"). 4, record 1, Spanish, - software%20libre

Un programa es software libre si los usuarios tienen [las cuatro libertades esenciales]. Entonces, debería ser libre de redistribuir copias, tanto con o sin modificaciones, ya sea gratis o cobrando una tarifa por distribución, a cualquiera en cualquier parte. El ser libre de hacer estas cosas significa, entre otras cosas, que no tiene que pedir o pagar el permiso. 5, record 1, Spanish, - software%20libre
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
No confundir “software libre” con “software gratuito”, que es una traducción incorrecta de “free software” y corresponde más bien al inglés “freeware”. “Free” en inglés es polisémico y en el caso de “free software” no indica que sea gratis sino libre. 6, record 1, Spanish, - software%20libre
