什么是自由软件？
使用 LLM 解释/回答一下
自由软件
自由软件是指允许任何人使用、拷贝、修改、分发（免费/少许收费）的软件。尤其是这种软件的源代码必须是可得到的。从某种意义上说，“没有源代码，就称不上是（自由）软件。”
如果一个程序是自由的，则它可以被像GNU/Linux、FreeDOS这样的自由操作系统所包含。
有许多方法可以使一个程序变成自由的。具体而言，有许多决定性的因素，下面列出了一些：
自由软件实质上是免费的，不标价出售。但有时软件公司在提及价格时使用“free software”这个字眼，他们的意思可能是你可以免费获得一份二进制代码的拷贝，也可能是在你所购买的机器中已经包含了一份拷贝。但是，这种说法与我们在GNU计划中“free software”的意义是不同的。
由于在操作中极易混淆，因此一旦软件公司说他们的软件是自由软件，您一定要检查您是否得到了自由软件所应包括的一切。有时，您得到的是自由软件，有时不是。
在许多语言中，“free”一词有两种意义：一是自由，二是免费。如法语的“libre”和“gratuit”，英语的“gratis”都明白无误地指价格（免费），但没有明白无误地说明“自由”的意义。这是不幸的，因为如果有这个词，在此处它将非常有用。
通常自由软件都比非自由软件更加可靠。
Free Software
Free software refers to software that allows anyone to use, copy, modify, and distribute (for free/a small fee). In particular, the source code of such software must be obtainable. In a sense, "without source code, it cannot be called (free) software."
If a program is free, it can be included in free operating systems like GNU/Linux, FreeDOS.
There are many ways to make a program free. Specifically, there are many decisive factors, and some are listed below:
Free software is essentially free and not sold at a marked price. But sometimes software companies use the word "free software" when referring to price. Their meaning may be that you can get a copy of the binary code for free, or that a copy is already included in the machine you purchased. However, this meaning is different from the "free software" in the GNU Project.
Because it is extremely easy to confuse in operation, so once a software company says their software is free software, you must check whether you have obtained everything that free software should include. Sometimes you get free software, sometimes you don't.
In many languages, the word "free" has two meanings: one is freedom, the other is free of charge. For example, the French "libre" and "gratuit", and the English "gratis" clearly refer to price (free of charge), but do not clearly explain the meaning of "freedom". This is unfortunate because if such a word existed, it would be very useful here.
Usually, free software is more reliable than non-free software.
