In today's technological world where skills and technology go sky high day by day, open source technology is a tool for innovation to develop new and more advanced technology. Software Freedom can provide a higher degree of security than is possible with proprietary software, because the artificial barrier of proprietary secrecy is not in place to keep security experts from contributing ideas, and it's in those experts' best interest to make sure the software is secure.
Free software is not produced without cost, but it is free from licensing fee. Free software source code guarantee no private interest have the power to revoke public economic benefit. Software Freedom has massive legal and economic benefits, and it ultimately empowers people on a local level to exercise enlightened self-interest concerning any area of life that involves software.
It has been the 4th time Software Freedom Day to be held. For more details about the Day, please visit www.softwarefreedomday.org
