This poster I drew up back in 2021 as an attempt at trying to improve the presentation of the 4 essential freedoms on the [gnu.org](https://gnu.org) website. They simply wrote them up as un-assuming text that does not even call attention to itself. I, knowing that we live in the world of short attention spans, decided to try and present the same freedoms in a much more modern way.

Since then I received multiple translations of the poster and even been told that the poster was found in some schools in the USA. The GNU project's website, subsequently published the poster on their website.

On January 30th 2026 I leaned that the poster was used in a [Wikipedia article about the Free Software Definition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Free_Software_Definition).
