Motivation for this project

This project started when my father asked me to build a weighing scale for his beehive. I agreed and this is what I made so far.

Fee Software

My goal is to produce free software. ‘Free’ as in freedom or libre. That means the software I write respects your privacy and rights. Sounds great, but what does that mean? Let’s take a look at the definition of free software by gnu.org - free software :

A program is free software if the program’s users have the four essential freedoms:

  1. The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
  2. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
  3. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
  4. The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

So basically you are free to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve my software.
