@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ There are two distinct senses of the word "free" when it comes to free software.
|

|
||||
The first senses is straightforward. Qubes OS is "free as in beer," meaning that it is provided at no cost (_gratis_), though [donations](/donate/) are greatly appreciated.
|
||||
|
||||
The second sense is more complicated. Qubes OS is *mostly* "free as in speech," but not entirely. All the software created by the Qubes OS Project *itself* is [free (libre) and open-source software (FOSS or FLOSS)](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/floss-and-foss.en.html).

The second sense is more complicated. Qubes OS is *mostly* "free as in speech," but not entirely. All the software created by the Qubes OS Project *itself* is [free (or "libre")](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw) and [open-source](https://opensource.org/docs/definition.html) software ([FOSS or FLOSS](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/floss-and-foss.en.html)).
|
||||
This means that everyone is allowed to use, copy, study, and change the software in accordance with its [license](/doc/license/).
|
||||
It also means that the [source code](/doc/source-code/) is [publicly available](https://github.com/QubesOS/) so everyone can audit and contribute to it.
