If you have obtained a copy of the the sotware in a legal way, you can use it the way you want. If the software was licensed to you, you can use in the ways you are allowed to by the license. If the license is a Free (as in freedom) / FLOSS / FOSS license, (a) you got the copy in a legal way, and you can use it the way you want to use it, and (b) you can further copy / redistribute / redistribute / modify / distribute-modified-versions subject to the license. > Also, is it possible for me to change/modify it ? Depends on the how you got it. If you merely got a copy, you cannot modify it. If you licensed it, AND the license permits it, you can modify it. > ALso, one more question !
