## Rationale

### Why This License Exists

BarrerSoftware releases software for FREE because:

1. **Built on free resources**
   - We use public specifications
   - We study open source code
   - We learn from community work
   - What was given freely, must remain free

2. **Accessibility matters**
   - Students can't always afford software
   - Developing countries need access
   - Hobbyists deserve good tools
   - Open source democratizes technology

3. **Quality over profit**
   - We build what we want to use
   - Profit motives corrupt good design
   - Community feedback makes better software
   - Free software forces excellence

4. **Anti-exploitation**
   - We've seen companies take free software and profit billions
   - Original creators get nothing
   - We protect our work from being sold by others
   - Services are fine, selling software is not

The license references an "official version" at an external URL but doesn't clarify the relationship between this document and the canonical version. If discrepancies exist between this LICENSE file and the URL, it's unclear which takes precedence. Consider adding language that specifies whether this document is the controlling version or if the URL version supersedes it in case of conflicts.
