What does the name “Freespire” mean?
Most might think the name simply means a “free” copy of Linspire, but this is not necessarily the case. The name Freespire means much more: • Yes, it’s “free” to download Freespire, but that’s just the beginning. • Users are “free” to choose the software they wish to install and control how their computer behaves. • Freespire believes in having a “free” marketplace of all software that can be easily installed. • Freespire uses entirely free, open-source software where possible. That means you’re “free” to get the source code, change it, fork it, and do with it what you will. Even the CNR client in Freespire will be open source. • By combining the words “free” and “Linspire,” the name highlights the marriage of free, open-source Linux with the benefits of a commercial Linux operating system.
