Re: A Free Software Inquiry regarding Nintendo DS

[Richard Stallman]

    Now having grown up on non-free software and video-games, just as I
    ate more candy and soda as a kid but now am smart enough to know this
    isn't healthy, I know that when you purchase a game you are free to
    sell the game and lend it to your friend. But I never thought this
    meant the games were free software.

If the game's source code is not available, it certainly is not free
software.

See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html for the definition of
free software.
