Examples of free software

What is free software? This term refers to computer programs that are assigned together with their source code , thus offering the user the option of changing, analyzing, copying and distributing them. This type of software has to offer each and every one of the users the four freedoms, although the user must respect the conditions of the free license.

It should also be noted that most of these programs can be downloaded over the Internet for free, either in full or as a trial, or at a very low price to cover distribution costs.
