Free software! “Free” as in “free speech” (not as in “free beer”, although free beer is good!) ! Software freedom is a moral imperative. ! Free Software Definition:
- 4 basic freedoms must be maintained ! Free Software ~== Open Source ! F(L)OSS

Take Aways! A license is a tool. There is no “always right” license ! Take time to decide on the right license type ! Changing licenses can be very difficult ! Avoid “vanity” licenses ! ALWAYS specify a license!
