- The participation of everyone is important, therefore:
- Mageia is free software, so the more people using, testing, and collaborate, the better their development.
- free software can be used without restriction, including free, but also has high costs for development and updating. Therefore, it is the model of "collaborative development" that allows for the reduction of development costs and accelerated evolution of free software.
- the free software is for everyone to use, and is legally protected by the GNU GPL, and therefore has been consolidating since it was created 28 years ago by Richard Stallman and has for 20 years, Linux as its core (see also here).
