-\section{Used language in this paper}
-Throughout this paper I will use language specific to the field of computer science, and as such
-it makes sense to provide a brief overview for those who don't know what specific terms mean.
-\begin{description}
- \item[Licenses] In this setting a license is a legal document that is distributed with
- almost all modern software, which describes how someone can use a piece of software
- \item[Free Software] This term refers to software under specific licenses, making them
- free for the user to use (free as in freedom, not the monetary cost). This will
- be covered further in the next section.
- \item[Open Source] This term refers to a piece of software, where the original code for it
- is publicly available. This too will be covered further in the next section.
- \item[FOSS] An acronym for "Free and Open Source Software".
-\end{description}

-\section{What is Free Software?}
-The free software movement is one that has been active for over 40 years \cite{GNUmaifesto}, it has
-created some of the most important tools in computing that are used by billions on a daily basis.
-It is so engraved in our lives, yet so few even know what the term means; In a simple note, it is
-software for a computer, phone or other device that can be used without violating the users
-freedom.
-
-The definition of what violates a users freedom can vary depending on who you ask, but it was
-originally said as follows:
-\begin{description}
- \item[0] The freedom to run a program for any purpose
- \item[1] The freedom to study how a program works, and modify it to your needs
- \item[2] The freedom to redistribute a piece of software
- \item[3] The freedom to redistribute a edited version of software publicly
