There are many licenses that provide freedom for the user. One of the more common ones is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License|GPL]], the Gnu General Public License.

Free software is btw not the same as freeware, and Ubuntu Studio will never include freeware. Only free software.

What is Ubuntu Studio?

An Official Flavor of Ubuntu

Being an official flavor of Ubuntu means the following:

  • Ubuntu Studio shares repositories with Ubuntu, and other Ubuntu flavors, which means you can install the same exact packages no matter on which Ubuntu flavor you are on. The main difference between Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio is really what packages and settings you get when doing a standard desktop installation.

  • Most of the packages are directly imported from Debian repos, from their testing and unstable releases and experiemental repository. (More about Debian/Ubuntu on the wiki: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian)

Ubuntu Studio and Free Software Licenses

FLOSS stands for Free Libre Open Source Software. With some minor exceptions, such as non-free wifi drivers in the kernel, all the applications you use on Ubuntu Studio are truly FLOSS.

Volunteer Project

Ubuntu Studio is a community project, developed by volunteers. We develop Ubuntu Studio on our free time, and our only goal is to make Ubuntu Studio a great, free OS for linux multimedia.
