Software Freedom Day (http://softwarefreedomday.org/) is an initiative to make the world aware of the existence, availability, and high quality of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), and to encourage its use by as many people as possible. It is a global grassroots marketing campaign in which volunteers from around the world are invited to participate.
Software Freedom is not just about software being available free of charge (though this is usually the case), but that software remains free to be altered (open source).
