-        Free refers to “free as in free speech”, as opposed to “free as in 
free beer”.

software,
-        (2) study and modify it, (3) redistribute copies, and (4) distribute 
copies of
-        the modified version.

+        For merchants the Free Software

provider can
         take over, should the current one provide inadequate quality of 
service. As
         the software of the payment provider itself is free, smaller or

         as the wallet software can be made to run on a variety of platforms, 
and

removed

smart

cannot
