Selected Answer: E
Option D refers to imposing limits on the purposes of software use, which is not a characteristic of Free Software licenses. Free Software licenses, as captured in Option E, typically focus on the conditions for modifying and distributing the software, emphasizing user freedom rather than restricting usage purposes.

E. Conditions for modifying and distributing the licensed software. A Free Software license defines the conditions under which software can be modified and distributed while ensuring that users have certain freedoms, such as the freedom to study, modify, and distribute the software. The specific terms of the license dictate the extent to which these freedoms are granted to users. Option E accurately captures the essence of what a Free Software license defines.

Selected Answer: E
I believe this is E. A,B,C are incorrect. That leave either D or E. From page 36 of LPI's Linux Essential Version 1.6 found at https://learning.lpi.org/pdfstore/LPI-Learning-Material-010-160-en.pdf, it states there are 4 criteria for "Free Software." They are: "The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0)." "The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1)." "The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2)." "The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3)." Freedom 0 eliminates answer D as a correct choice, so the correct choice would be E.

Seems like it could be D or E, but answer is E according to Wikipedia: A free-software license is a notice that grants the recipient of a piece of software extensive rights to modify and redistribute that software.

Kind of, it has to do with Free Software Foundation since they use the term "Free" software. It's free as in speech, not as in beer.
