Any software is considered free software so long as it upholds the *four essential freedoms*:
0. The freedom to **use** the software for any purpose.
1. The freedom to **study** and **improve** the software.
2. The freedom to **share** the software.
3. The freedom to **collaborate** on the software.
Software which upholds these freedoms is **free software**. Software which does not is **non-free**.

Strong commitment in design is good for dementia, where challenges in memory about time are frequently attended by confusion about space—where I am now, where I was before, where I’m headed next. Memory care facilities that use architecture well [depend much less on anti-anxiety drugs](https://substack.com/redirect/bff93efb-d671-4000-8630-8fb9ae59e54a?j=eyJ1IjoiMXlmdTFqIn0.qYv5NVQwodvs9yAW1b9IqXxz-UTiPAUp4JXaRMXUArU) for their patients compared to control cases. It’s architecture as mitigation, even treatment. Strong commitments and specificity instead of the good intentions in “multi use.”
