“Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.
“free software” is a matter of liberty, not price.
From wikipedia in agreement with this:
A free-software license is a notice that grants the recipient of a piece of software extensive rights to modify and redistribute that software.
B. Correct answer
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) defines free software as being software that ensures that the users have freedom in using, studying, sharing and modifying that software. The term “free” is used in the sense of “free speech,” not of "free of charge."
Why are people putting the wrong answer to study. It will take other longer to get the material ingested. Stop doing this people!
B.
From wiki:
The Free Software movement is a social movement with the goal of obtaining and guaranteeing certain freedoms for software users, namely the freedoms to run the software, to study the software, to modify the software.
This is what the question is referring to about "Free Software"
It is ment to be "B"
"C" says : It must always be available free of charge.
"ALWAYS" It's not always for sure. When the trial expires it's not available for free.
Yes, you are true. B is about Open Source, while C is about Free Software which is no charge but the developer does not need to open the code, so it is not possible to modify it.
Its B...Free software aka "Freeware" means it is initially free but then expires and you will have to purchase a license if you plan on continuing use of it
Free software is not freeware. An example of free software would be the Linux kernel.
