We all know that computers do not make decisions themselves really. They do what people told them to do. But which people told them what to do? When you are using your computer, can you tell it what to do, or is someone else telling it what to do? Who controls your computer? This is the question of free software. The freedoms in the definition of free software, freedoms zero, one, two and three, the reason why these are the freedoms that matter is because these are the freedoms necessary for citizens to control their own computers. You need freedom zero in order to be able to do whatever job you want with your computer. You need freedom one so that you can make the software do what you want it to do. If you do not have freedom one, you are stuck; you are a prisoner of your software.
