Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
Azkenik, aipatu beharrekoa da software-patenteek etengabe mehatxu egiten diotela edozein programa libreri. Programa libre baten birbanatzaileek patente-lizentziak banaka eskuratu eta, ondorioz, programaren jabe egitearen arriskua ekidin nahi dugu. Hori gerta ez dadin, argi utzi dugu patente guztiek edonork askatasunez erabiltzeko lizentzia izan behar dutela, edo, bestela, inongo lizentziarik ez.
