Software Freedom is about everyday people being able to do anything that they want their computers to do every day, without any restrictions placed on them by a third party.

Software Freedom includes the rights to run, copy, distribute, study and make changes to the software. Allowing everyone to have access to the source code is essential to software freedom, since without allowing people access to the source code they cannot make improvements to the software.

Software Freedom also protects you from treacherous programming practices that are being employed by some proprietary software to collect information about you. Which can be sold to marketing companies or turned over to law enforcement agencies without your authorization or any regard to your civil rights.
