-Free software should always be free and available to anyone. It's a fundamental part of how the internet works, and how open source projects are developed. The GNU General Public License (GPL) is an example of how open source projects are protected from being commercialized and controlled. The GPL is an important aspect of free software as it encourages people to freely use and share software.
+Software freedom is a fundamental principle of open-source development. The GNU General Public License (GPL) protects this ideal by ensuring software remains free, shareable, and uncontrolled by commercial interests.
 SnackLinux has been developed with the intention of allowing any software to run on multiple hardware configurations. This means that developers can add any packages they need, and build from source code easily.
-Frustrations are shared when build processes of distributions or packages aren't shared, and simply the resulting binary is.
+The fundamental principles are:
+  * Software should be freely available to everyone
+  * Systems must be easily customizable
+  * Source code must be readily buildable
+  * Construction should be completely transparent
-SnackLinux is an open source Linux distribution that is dedicated to fostering an environment of transparency and collaboration. It is built on the concept of shared knowledge, which is based on the idea that knowledge should be freely available and shared among all users. Through this principle, SnackLinux encourages users to build their own Linux distributions based on the source code. This means that users have full access to the source code and have the ability to modify, extend, and enhance the Linux distributions they build.
+SnackLinux is designed to run on diverse but niche hardware, empowering developers to add packages, modify systems, and share knowledge. By exposing every step of the build process, I invite users to learn, improve, and collaborate.
+The core principle is simple: knowledge should be free, and software should be a shared resource that anyone can understand, modify, and distribute.
-SnackLinux is built on a simple and straightforward philosophy that everything should be easy to build and easy to understand.
-Unlike other Linux distributions that rely on closed, proprietary build systems, SnackLinux’s build process is entirely open and documented. This encourages users to share their work with others, and learn from the work of others. This allows users to work collaboratively on improving and customizing the Linux distribution they have built. Furthermore, by sharing the source code with others, users can help improve the overall quality and stability of the Linux distribution they have built.
-In summary, SnackLinux is a Linux distribution that encourages users to collaborate in building their own custom versions of the operating system. This is done through providing users with access to the source code, as well as through offering simple build instructions and tutorials. This gives users the opportunity to learn from others, as well as share the knowledge they have gained, which helps to build a vibrant open source Linux community.
