Why is it free?

It’s hard to believe that such a polished, professional and popular product can be free. But Ubuntu is free to anyone who wants to use it. Here’s why.
  1. It’s open source.

    Our global community is made up of thousands of people who want to help build the best open-source operating system in the world. They share their time and skills to make sure that Ubuntu keeps getting better and better. From IBM to Google, Firefox to Wikipedia — some of today's best software is based on an open-source model. Shared efforts. Shared principles. No cost.

    “#iuseubuntubecause I stand for freedom, but require a working desktop environment. Ubuntu has the best of both.”

  2. It’s managed and funded by Canonical.

    Canonical is the number-one Ubuntu services provider. Companies can choose to receive expert training, support or consultancy for a fee that goes towards the continued development of Ubuntu.
