ಮೊದಲಿಗೆ ಫ್ರೀ ಸಾಫ್ಟ್ವೇರ್ ಎಂದರೆ ಏನೆಂದು ಶುರು ಮಾಡೋಣ. ಫ್ರೀ ಸಾಫ್ಟ್ವೇರ್ ಎಂದರೆ, ನಕಲು ಮಾಡುವ, ಮೂಲ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶದೊಂದಿಗೆ ವಿತರಿಸುವ, ಮಾರ್ಪಡಿಸುವ ಮತ್ತು ಹೊಸ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಅನ್ವಯಿಸುವ ಎಲ್ಲ ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಅದು ಬಳಕೆದಾರರಿಗೆ ನೀಡುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದರೆ, ಮಾಲೀಕತ್ವದ ಸಾಫ್ಟ್ ವೇರ್ ಮೂಲ ತಂತ್ರಾಂಶವನ್ನು (Proprietary software) ಬಳಕೆದಾರರಿಗೆ ನಿರಾಕರಿಸುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಎಲ್ಲ ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಹತ್ತಿಕ್ಕುತ್ತವೆ.

We are bringing up some issues we think are important in the Indian context. Through the editorial, we are discussing the issue of Digital Divide. We feel this topic is rarely discussed amongst free software groups, though we live in a Indian situation.The plight of the last man in India and his digital connection. Mostly our discussions have been around 'freedom', 'choice'. As P Sainath says "if people had a choice they would have had food".
