The core of the Ubuntu philosophy is represented by the following ideals: Every computer user should have the freedom to download, run, copy, distribute, study, share, change their software for any purpose, without paying licensing fees. Every computer user 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.
