The Hypocrisy of Free Software Foundation虛偽的自由軟體基金會
To join “Free” Software Foundation which preaches that all software should be free you are forced to pay at least 120$ per year.加入“免費”軟件的基礎，鼓吹所有軟件應該是免費的，你是被迫支付至少120元左右。 My simple question for FSF & Richard Stallman is:我簡單的問題，為金融穩定論壇＆理查德斯托爾曼是：
Why should we pay to join “Free” software foundation?我們為什麼要支付加入“免費”軟件的基礎呢？
When software (which requires human labor which costs money) should be free, as they preach, then why not services (which also costs human labor and money to provide)?當軟件（這需要人力成本錢）應該是自由，因為他們鼓吹的話，為什麼不服務（其中還成本，人力和金錢來提供） ？
I tried to join Free Software Foundation by setting my membership to 0$ per year but was denied.我試圖加入自由軟件基金會通過設置我的會員資格，以零元，每年但被拒絕。
Makes you wonder about their real agenda doesn’t it?讓你想知道他們的真實議程不是嗎？

I think you’ve misunderstood the FSF’s position.我想您誤會了金融穩定論壇的立場。 They don’t believe that all software should be free (as in cost nothing).他們不相信所有軟件應免費（如在成本無關） 。 They believe that all users should have the freedom to modify/improve the software that they use.他們認為，所有用戶都應該有自由的修改/改善軟件，他們使用。 Hence the “Free” in their name refers to this freedom which should be a fundamental right for all computer users.因此， “免費”在他們的名字是指這種自由應該是一項基本權利，為所有電腦用戶。
They clearly recognise that software requires capital to develop and are happy for people to charge for GPL software.他們清楚地認識到軟件需要資本發展和感到高興的人收取的GPL軟件。 eg, RedHat, Novell, etc. Similarly, they acknowledge that the services they provide to the community cost money.例如，版RedHat ， Novell公司等同樣，他們承認，他們所提供的服務向社會成本的錢。 Hence, their joining fee.因此，他們的加入費。

English is unfortunate in having the word “free” mean “without cost” as well as “without restrictions”.英語是不幸的有字， “免費”的意思是“沒有成本”以及“沒有限制” 。 Many people get them mixed up when they hear “free software”.很多人，讓他們混在一起，當他們聽到“自由軟件” 。 That’s why the Free Software Foundation specifies “free as in free speech”.這就是為什麼自由軟件基金會指定“免費為在言論自由的” 。

Patrick, I think you confuse “open source” with free.劉秀成，我想你混淆“開放源碼”與免費的。 Open source isn’t necessarily without cost but comes with the freedom to modify/improve.開放源代碼不一定是無成本，但談到與新聞自由修改/改善。
Free means free.免費手段，免費入場。
