Please link to the definition of Free Software, the introduction to the
GNU licenses and the Frequently Asked Questions for the GNU General
Public License (GNU GPL):

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html


Together, and IMO in that order, these documents explain the purpose and
features of Free Software and the GNU GPL, and also go into the
interesting "but what about...?" questions that anyone who is new (or
not so new) to this might have.
