Повечето автори, без значение от сферата на дейността си или статута си на аматьори или професионалисти, имат искрения интерес да се благоприятства една екосистема, в която творбите могат да се разпространяват, многократно използват и променят по творчески начини. Колкото по-лесно е да се творбите да се използват повторно и да им се правят производни работи, толкова по-богати стават нашите култури. | Повечето автори, без значение от сферата на дейността си или статута си на аматьори или професионалисти, имат искрения интерес да се благоприятства една екосистема, в която творбите могат да се разпространяват, многократно използват и променят по творчески начини.

To ensure the graceful functioning of this ecosystem, works of authorship should be '''free''', and by ''freedom'' we mean: | |||
* ''' | * the '''freedom to use''' the work and enjoy the benefits of using it | ||
* ''' | * the '''freedom to study''' the work and to apply knowledge acquired from it | ||
* ''' | * the '''freedom to make and redistribute copies''', in whole or in part, of the information or expression | ||
* ''' | * the '''freedom to make changes and improvements''', and to distribute derivative works | ||
These freedoms should be available to anyone, anywhere, anytime. They should not be restricted by the context in which the work is used. Creativity is the act of using an existing resource in a way that had not been envisioned before. | |||
In most countries however, these freedoms are not enforced but suppressed by the laws commonly named ''copyright laws''. They consider authors as god-like creators and give them an exclusive monopoly as to how "their content" can be re-used. This monopoly impedes the flourishing of culture, and it does not even help the economic situation of authors so much as it protects the business model of the most powerful publishing companies. | |||
In spite of those laws, authors can make their works free by choosing among a vast array of legal documents known as [[w:license|free licenses]]. For an author, choosing to put his work under a ''free license'' does not mean that he loses all his rights, but it gives to anyone the freedoms listed above. | |||
It is important that any work that claims to be free provides, practically and without any risk, the aforementioned freedoms. This is why we hereafter give a precise '''definition of freedom''' for licenses and for works of authorship. | |||
