What are the licensing terms for software distributed by the Free Software Foundation?

Asked 6 months ago
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) distributes software under the GNU General Public License (GPL), which is their flagship license. The GPL grants users the freedom to run, modify, and distribute the software, ensuring it remains free and open for all. This license ensures that users have access to the source code and can learn from, modify, or share the software with others. Additionally, the FSF also offers other licenses like the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) for libraries and the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) for network server software. All these licenses prioritize the freedom of users and foster collaboration, ensuring that software remains under the control of its users.
