+The fundamental dialectic of our struggle is this: will we be enslaved by our
+technology, or liberated by it? 
+
+It was in cognizance of this notion, and in service to our collective freedom
+that the Free Software Movement was born. It is in this spirit that we aim here
+to define exactly what it means to say that a network is free.  We hope that
+the existence of this definition will help illuminate the path to a more just
+world. 
+
+Our intention is to build communications systems that are owned by the people
+that use them, that allow participants to own their own data, and that use
+end-to-end encryption and cryptographic trust mechanisms to assure privacy. We
+call such systems 'free networks' and they are characterized by the following
+five freedoms:
+
+* Freedom 0) The freedom to participate in the network. 
+
+  Freedom 0 regards your right to organize cooperative networks.  Conventional
+  networks are characterized by a distinction between provider and user. This
+  mode of organization encourages network operation in the service of
+  self-interest. The provider builds and owns the infrastructure, and the user
+  pays for access.  In a free network, however, nodes connect to one another,
+  rather than to a single, monolithic provider. By nature of its design, a free
+  network is owned by those that make use of it. Participants act as providers
+  and users as the same time, and growth is auto-distributed by treating any
+  profits as investment. In this way, those that join the network are able to
+  become owners. This mode of organization encourages network operation in the
+  service of the common good. 
+
+* Freedom 1) The freedom to determine where one's bits are stored. 
+
+  Freedom 1 regards your right to own the material stores of your data.
+  Conventional networks encourage (if not force) their participants to store
+  their data in machines which are under the administrative auspices of an
+  external service provider or host. Most folks are not able to serve data from
+  their homes. Participants ought to be free to store their own data (so that it
+  is under their care) without sacrificing their ability to publish it.
+
+* Freedom 2) The freedom to determine the parties with whom one's bits are shared. 
+
+  Freedom 2 regards your right to control access to your data. 
+
+  Data mining and the monetization of sharing has become common practice.
+  Participants should be free to chose those with whom they would like to share a
+  given piece of information. Only someone who owns their own data can fully
+  exercise this freedom, but it is an issue regardless of where the relevant bits
+  are stored. 
+
+* Freedom 3) The freedom to transmit bits to one's peers without the prospect
+  of interference, interception or censorship. 
+
+  Freedom 3 regards the right to speak freely with your peers.
+
+  Information flows in conventional networks are routinely and intentionally
+  intercepted, obstructed, and censored. This is done at the behest of corporate
+  and state actors around the world. In a free network, private communications
+  should remain unexamined from the time they enter the network until the time
+  they reach their destination.
+
+* Freedom 4) The freedom to maintain anonymity, or to present a unique, trusted
+  identity. 
+
+  Freedom 4 regards your right to construct your own identity
+
+  There is increasing pressure to forbid anonymity, and yet trustworthy
+  communications remain rare. While it is essential to liberty that individuals
+  be able to remain anonymous in the online public sphere, it is also essential
+  that they be able to construct and maintain persistent, verifiable identities.
+  Such identities might bear a legal name, a common name, or an avatar that masks
+  one's corporeal self – individuals could have many such identities, and switch
+  between them at will. Clear delineation between anonymous, pseudonymous, and
+  onymous actors would enable all of us to better asses the trustworthiness of
+  others on the network.
