+ Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is software that comes with a license
that gives users certain rights. In particular the right to use the

- money. The Free Software Foundation (creators of the GNU GPL) speaks
+ money. The Free Software Foundation, the creator of the GNU GPL, speaks
of free in this context as in "free speech", not as in "no cost".
Nokia supports the free software concept by providing the Qt Open Source
Edition, which is licensed under the \l{GNU General Public License (GPL)}
(version 3) and the \l{GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)} (version 2.1).
