Microsoft Windows is a clear and instructive example of
non-free software. Its source code is a secret, so programmers
cannot learn from it, fix it, adapt it to their clients (your)
needs, or even verify what it really does. If you share copies
with your neighbors, you will be called a "pirate", and users
have been threatened with imprisonment for this. Non-free
software is completely controlled by its developer, who also has
power over the users. We started the free software movement
because this power is
unjust.
Using free software on Microsoft Windows (or any non-free
operating system) is the first step towards freedom, but it does
not get you all the way there. You're still under Microsoft's
power as long as you use Windows. So the next step is to replace
Windows with a free operating system such as GNU/Linux. However,
on this page we're concerned with the first step.
