Quick reply.

Can I leave printing to someone else?

Yes.

All software is licensed.

Actually, public domain software isn't licensed. Perhaps "Most software is licensed".

These freedoms and rights help to foster a community of dedicated computer programmers who work with each other over wide geographic areas to develop high-quality programs for the benefit of the community and the world at large.

I think there's just too much in that one sentence. Here's a suggestion. Sorry, I just don't have time to make it better.

These freedoms and rights help to develop a community of dedicated computer programmers. The software which results is often of high quality and always available for use by the community and the world at large.

The section with the title "How does it work?" is to be rephrased as follows:

Seems fine, but I don't thing that it is particularly necessary to say:

"In the same way as with non-free software, the user may choose not to accept the license governing the software. In this case the user must still abide by the copyright laws of the land."

The "Examples" section has been changed to remove Samba (why -- does it not toe the party line?) and to delete "based on netscape" from the Mozilla section.

Samba is (I think) fully free software but it isn't very visible to the non-techy. It is probably worth deleting "based on netscape" because netscape originally wasn't free software. And people may remember that, at certain times, IE was better than Netscape.

The section entitled "GNU and the Free Software Foundation" has been changed slightly to read: ============================= GNU stands for "GNU is Not Unix". It is the name of a project (http://www.gnu.org/) whose goal is to provide a complete computer operating system using only free software. The Free Software Movement and the GNU project were started by Richard Stallman in January 1984, and the project is maintained by the Free Software Foundation (http://www.fsf.org/). All GNU software is copyrighted by the FSF and is released under the GNU GPL. =============================

While the LGLP is missing in the last sentence, would adding it cause confusion?

Yeah. Leave it out. Alternatively, you could say "GPL or similar" or "released under Free Software licenses".

Viral. Installing GPL software does not mean that a company's software products must be released under the GPL.

That sounds fine.

Fine.

Good luck,
