Because you can have an Open Source software, meaning the source is available, but still it's not Free software because it doesn't respect the 4 laws, as you say. Getting access to the source of a software is not enough to make it Free! The licence would give source access but may be not the right to change anything or distribute modifications to it (would it be bug corrections or enhancements) ! > Nh?ng ph?n m?m GPL c?ng c? th? coi l? ???c ??t d??i "b?n quy?n GPL", v? n? > c?ng ??i h?i nh?ng ng??i s? d?ng n? tu?n th? 4 lu?t c? b?n ghi trong GPL. > GPL softwares are not different from proprietary softwares in that they too are protected by the copyright laws. For GPL softwares, this protection is here to enforce a licence giving almost total freedom to their users, still preserving the author(s) rights (the author may change the licence at a later point). Without copyright, it would be called "public domain" softwares, which means they are not protected at all (no copyright, no licence). > Theo em, ?? d? hi?u v? ng?n g?n, n?n d?ch l?
