So the only way we can really, fully have control over our own software is if we do so together. And that's what Freedom 3 is for. Freedom 3 is the freedom to publish a modified version, so others can use it too. And this is what enables us to work together, taking control of our software. Because I could make this change in a program and publish the modified version, and then you could make that change and publish the modified version, and someone else can make that change and publish the modified version. And now we've got a version with all three changes in it and everybody can switch to that if everybody likes it.
