Open Source#
The creation of AME is led by individuals principally interested in the open flow of information and equal distribution of knowledge, hence a strong inclination towards supporting free and open source software or even activist efforts, such as the FSF’s ethics.
As such, the replacement applications provided in AME, and software developed by AME, also attempt to fall in line with open source considerations.
We by all means strongly encourage users unfamiliar with these concepts to explore them in detail, as they are much further reaching in their implications than simply superficial effects on software development.
