FUTO's "The Open Source Definition"

FUTO believes that people are entitled to be in control of their computers. They are entitled to know exactly what their computers are doing. They are entitled to program them how they like.

FUTO also believes that in order to achieve a high level of quality every piece of software should have a responsible owner. If the software is good they should be proud. If the software is bad it's their job to make it better. If the software is profitable they should reap the profit. We do not want to unnecessarily reduce an author's ownership or exclusive right to profit from their hard work.
