Ubuntu 让世界更美好！！

Ubuntu's
PhilosophyOur
work is driven by a philosophy on software freedom that aims to spread and bring
the benefits of software to all parts of the world. At the core of the Ubuntu
Philosophy are these core philosophical ideals:1.
Every computer user should have the freedom to download, run, copy, distribute,
study, share, change and improve their software for any purpose, without paying
licensing fees.2.
Every computer user should be able to use their software in the language of
their choice.3.
Every computer user should be given every opportunity to use software, even if
they work under a disability.Our
philosophy is reflected in the software we produce and included in our
distribution. As a result, the licensing terms of the software we distribute are
measured against our philosophy, using the Ubuntu License Policy.When
you install Ubuntu almost all of the software installed already meets these
ideals, and we are working to ensure that every single piece of software you
need is available under a license that gives you those freedoms.Currently,
we make a specific exception for some "drivers" which are only available in
binary form, without which many computers will not complete the Ubuntu
installation. We place these in a restricted section of your system which makes
them easy to remove if you do not need them.Free
softwareFor
Ubuntu, the 'free' in 'free software' is used primarily in reference to freedom,
and not to price - although we are committed to not charging for Ubuntu. The
most important thing about Ubuntu is that it confers rights of software freedom
on the people who install and use it. It is these freedoms that enable the
Ubuntu community to grow, continue to share its collective experience and
expertise to improve Ubuntu and make it suitable for use in new countries and
new industries.Quoting
the Free Software Foundation's 'What is Free Software', the freedoms at the core
of free software are defined as:*
The freedom to run the programme, for any purpose.

*
The freedom to study how the programme works and adapt it to your needs.*
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others.*
The freedom to improve the programme and release your improvements to the
public, so that everyone benefits.Open
sourceOpen
source is a term coined in 1998 to remove the ambiguity in the English word
'free'. The Open Source Initiative described open source software in the Open
Source Definition. Open source continues to enjoy growing success and wide
recognition.Ubuntu
is happy to call itself open source. While some refer to free and open source as
competing movements with different ends, we do not see free and open source
software as either distinct or incompatible. Ubuntu proudly includes members who
identify with both the free software and open source camps, and many who
identify with both.
