<h1>Posting Etiquette</h1> <ol> <li> <p><strong>Ask the main part of your question in the title</strong>. This should be concise but informative.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Provide everything up front</strong>. Don’t make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Be present for follow up questions.</strong> Don’t ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Ask about the problem you’re trying to solve</strong>. Don’t focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve.

<p>“Libre software” means software that respects users’ freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.</p> <p>In particular, four freedoms define Free Software:</p> <pre style="background-color:#ffffff;"> <span style="color:#323232;">The freedom to run the program, for any purpose. </span><span style="color:#323232;"> </span><span style="color:#323232;">Placing restrictions on the use of Free Software, such as time (&quot;30 days trial period&quot;, &quot;license expires January 1st, 2004&quot;) purpose (&quot;permission granted for research and non-commercial use&quot;, &quot;may not be used for benchmarking&quot;) or geographic area (&quot;must not be used in country X&quot;) makes a program non-free. </span><span style="color:#323232;"> </span><span style="color:#323232;">The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs. </span><span style="color:#323232;"> </span><span style="color:#323232;">Placing legal or practical restrictions on the comprehension or modification of a program, such as mandatory purchase of special licenses, signing of a Non-Disclosure-Agreement (NDA) or - for programming languages that have multiple forms or representation - making the preferred human way of comprehending and editing a program (&quot;source code&quot;) inaccessible also makes it proprietary (non-free). Without the freedom to modify a program, people will remain at the mercy of a single vendor. </span><span style="color:#323232;"> </span><span style="color:#323232;">The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor. </span><span style="color:#323232;"> </span><span style="color:#323232;">Software can be copied/distributed at virtually no cost. If you are not allowed to give a program to a person in need, that makes a program non-free. This can be done for a charge, if you so choose. </span><span style="color:#323232;"> </span><span style="color:#323232;">The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits. </span><span style="color:#323232;"> </span><span style="color:#323232;">Not everyone is an equally good programmer in all fields. Some people don&#39;t know how to program at all. This freedom allows those who do not have the time or skills to solve a problem to indirectly access the freedom to modify. This can be done for a charge. </span></pre>
