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 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. ↩ Reply

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. ↩ Reply

On January 30th 2026 I leaned that the poster was used in a Wikipedia article about the Free Software Definition. ↩ Reply

There are 3 types of laws: Freedom laws; Power laws and Paternalism laws. Freedom laws are those laws we actually like. Free Speech and things like that are all freedom laws. Some freedom laws are less obvious than others. But if the law makes your freedom stronger, it is a freedom law. Power laws are similar. Some people confuse power laws with freedom laws. Power laws are those that give people power. Most obvious examples are laws about censorship. Or laws that state that you can't criticize the government, some countries have that. Those give power to the government over the people. Power laws are any laws that give anybody power. Taking away somebodies else freedom in the process. But then there are paternalism laws.
