CompTIA Linux+ XK0-006 (V8) Practice Question

A development team is evaluating whether a new backup utility qualifies as free software under the Free Software Foundation (FSF) definition. The utility's license permits commercial and non-commercial redistribution of unchanged binaries, but it forbids sharing modified versions unless the original author grants written permission. According to the FSF's four essential software freedoms, which specific freedom does this restriction violate, causing the utility to fail the free-software test?

  • The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others.

  • The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose.

  • The freedom to redistribute unchanged copies of the program to anyone.

  • The freedom to study how the program works and modify it for private use.
