In this world so surrounded by prejudices of political, business and market proprietary software as often happens that often the proper ideology and ethics are sidelined. The question of free software and movement related to it generates the bias is not insignificant. Is the world of greed and power generating deletions towards freedom, towards a world of knowledge sharing and towards something unattainable for now.

The efforts of Richard Stallman and the company it founded the Free Software Foundation GNU project by several years trying in every way to inculcate a state of well being to all mankind. Not only for how we will tackle the problems, the resolution materializes only once and the same project will not have more people in work, especially freedom of expression must be something indisputably important for everyone.

The mutual aid, the free publication of his thought, rendered as a common knowledge, ideologies are uncomfortable in today's context where the crimes, the knowledge, the record must be hidden from all eyes.

But the concept of liberty in today's context is much broader and complex. Indeed, it is a concept that we take as a model for living in reality, so that freedom of thought and speech is something unique and available to anyone. that is necessary to protect our privacy and parallel power are somehow a source that does not affect an essential right: freedom.

Following the principle of ethics brought forward up to now and applying to free software, according to  Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation he founded a software can be described as free only if it provides four "fundamental freedoms":

• Freedom 0: The freedom to run the program for any purpose.
• Freedom 1: Freedom to study the program and modify it.
• Freedom 2: Freedom to copy the program to help others.
• Freedom 3: The freedom to improve the program and distribute the very best, so that the whole community benefits.

It is following this train of thought that certainly there will be progress in any ethical context, technological and otherwise. Having a mind free and open to allow anyone to share and have all good wishes. The free software movement is just one example of a tangible need.

One, many, all in the same direction. But together.
