Free software is software whose user licence allows free duplication, alteration and redistribution of programs (details) that depend on it. By is defined by the Free Software Foundation and the most widely distributed license for the free software is GNU GPL.
Free software is often confused with open source software, which is not necessarily always free!
In practice a consumer that uses free software has unrestricted usage. They download it free from the interned and then modify and distribute it at will.
This has translated into a notable saving in the costs of licenses and, as regards free software for the web, a reduction of development times: typically the only expenses incurred when using free software are those of customisation and/or technical support.
ocSinet is particularly involved in this type of software thanks to staff member Francesco Mazzi who was webmaster of altropc.it and member of the E-Xoopport staff now one of the most important free Italian CMSs.
