Why we do what we do

We are simply trying to make the world more beautiful It’s not about what we do, it’s all about the motiv behind the actions. We believe life becomes easy through deeper understanding

What is free software

“Free software” means software that respects users’ freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.

Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish word for “free” as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis.

A program is free software if the program’s users have the four essential freedoms,

Freedom 0: The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose.

Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others.

Freedom 3: The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others.
By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Why free software is relevant ?

• Avoid reinvention: Through free software, everyone can access the source code, make small modifications, and use it. This will reduce duplication of research and development.

• Providing security: When the source code is available, it’s at least like a toy with screws so that we can see how it works. How can we trust a toy robot if there is no way to open it?

• Users control the system: Yes, we believe the monkey inside us should be controlled by our master. This principle asserts that users should control the software, not the other way around. Every extra click should be avoided.

• Providing better quality: Since free software is not compelled to be in competition, developers have more time to give new features, more stability, and time to do research. Working out of passion rather than under fear-based deadlines encourages greater responsibility.

• Reducing living costs: Just imagine how much the cost of a tomato could be reduced if the software involved in its production and transport were free (software controlling watering in the fields or greenhouses, software used for billing and logistics, or CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software used for designing trucks which deliver goods to shops)!

• Accessibility: Developing software that makes accessibility possible contains many off-road ways, so source code visibility will break the ice and attract developers.
