Wazobia Linux™ is driven by its developer's philosophy on software freedom that we hope will spread and bring the benefits of software technology to all parts of Africa .
Affordable and open source software
At the core of the Wazobia Linux™ Philosophy of Software Freedom are these core philosophical ideals:
- Every computer user should have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, share, change and improve their software for any purpose, without paying licensing fees.
- Every computer user in Africa should be able to use their software in the language of their choice.
- Every computer user should be given every opportunity to use software, even if they work under a disability.
Our philosophy is reflected in the software we produce and included in our distribution. As a result, the licensing terms of the software we distribute are measured against our philosophy, using the Wazobia Linux™ License policy.
When you install Wazobia Linux™ almost, all of the software installed already meets these ideals, and we are working to ensure that every single piece of software you need is available under a license that gives you those freedoms. Currently, we make a specific exception for some "drivers" which are only available in binary form, without which many computers will not complete the Wazobia Linux™ installation.
