The Ubuntu software repository is divided into four components - main, restricted, universe and multiverse - on the basis of our ability to support that software, and whether or not it meets the goals laid out in our Free Software Philosophy.
The standard Ubuntu installation is a subset of software available from the main and restricted components. You can install additional software using installation software such as Synaptic Package Manager or Aptitude. Other components are added by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file. See "man sources.list" for more information on editing the sources.list file.
"main" component
The main distribution component contains applications that are free software, can freely be redistributed and are fully supported by the Ubuntu team. This includes the most popular and most reliable open source applications available, much of which is installed by default when you install Ubuntu.
Software in main includes a hand-selected list of applications that the Ubuntu developers, community, and users feel are important and that the Ubuntu security and distribution team are willing to support. When you install software from the main component you are assured that the software will come with security updates and technical support.
We believe that the software in main includes everything most people will need for a fully functional desktop or internet server running only open source software.
The licences for software applications in main must be free, but main may also may contain binary firmware and selected fonts that cannot be modified without permission from their authors. In all cases redistribution is unencumbered.
"restricted" component
The restricted component is reserved for software that is very commonly used, and which is supported by the Ubuntu team even though it is not available under a completely free licence. Please note that it may not be possible to provide complete support for this software since we are unable to fix the software ourselves, but can only forward problem reports to the actual authors.
Some software from restricted will be installed on Ubuntu CDs but is clearly separated to ensure that it is easy to remove. We include this software because it is essential in order for Ubuntu to run on certain machines - typical examples are the binary drivers that some video card vendors publish, which are the only way for Ubuntu to run on those machines. By default, we will only use open source software unless there is simply no other way to install Ubuntu. The Ubuntu team works with such vendors to accelerate the open-sourcing of their software to ensure that as much software as possible is available under a Free licence.
"universe" component
The universe component is a snapshot of the free, open source, and Linux world. In universe you can find almost every piece of open source software, and software available under a variety of less open licences, all built automatically from a variety of public sources. The basic toolchain and system libraries from main are still used to build this software and it is normally maintained in step with them, so it should install and work well with the software in main, but it comes with no guarantee of security fixes and support. The universe component includes thousands of pieces of software. Through universe, users are able to have the diversity and flexibility offered by the vast open source world on top of a stable Ubuntu core.
Canonical does not provide a guarantee of regular security updates for software found in universe but will provide these where they are made available by the community. Users should understand the risk inherent in using packages from the universe component.
Popular or well supported pieces of software will move from universe into main if they are backed by maintainers willing to meet the standards set for main by the Ubuntu team.
"multiverse" component
The "multiverse" component contains software that is "not free", which means the licensing requirements of this software do not meet the Ubuntu "main" Component Licence Policy.
The onus is on you to verify your rights to use this software and comply with the licensing terms of the copyright holder.
This software is not supported and usually cannot be fixed or updated. Use it at your own risk.

大家喜欢开源，热爱开源，但是由于每个人的能力不同，所以为了让大家更好的为开源做出贡献，ubuntu将软件仓库的程序分为了“main, restricted, universe and multiverse”四个部分。
The standard Ubuntu installation is a subset of software available from the main and restricted components. You can install additional software using installation software such as Synaptic Package Manager or Aptitude. Other components are added by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file. See "man sources.list" for more information on editing the sources.list file.
ubuntu的基本组件是从属于main和restricted的。您可以在新力得中安装或者删除他们。
您也可以在“/ etc / apt / sources.list”添加或修改软件源。更多关于软件源的介绍，请：

“main”库
这个仓库的程序是由ubuntu团队支持的自由软件组成的，因此所以我们可以保证软件的安全，更新和技术支持。这其中包括最流行，最可靠的开源程序。当您安装ubuntu后，大部分程序都作为默认组件安装进您的计算机。
这个仓库分支中，包含了大多数您所需要的程序，不论您是台式机，服务器，还是笔记本。
此仓库的软件遵守GPL协议发布。

Through universe, users are able to have the diversity and flexibility offered by the vast open source world on top of a stable Ubuntu core.
"universe"理念是自由、开源和Linux世界的缩影。在universe中你能几乎找到每一个开源软件，并且软件完全基于多种有限开放许可，所有组件都自动获取于多种公共源。来自于main的基本编译器和系统数据库仍然经常被用于构建此软件并通常被其逐步支持，因此它应该与main中的软件完善的安装和运行，但它没有伴随安全补丁和支持的保障。universe库包含成千上万的软件。通过universe，用户能够得到除稳定的Ubuntu内核外广大开源软件世界多样的和灵活的支持。
Canonical does not provide a guarantee of regular security updates for software found in universe but will provide these where they are made available by the community. Users should understand the risk inherent in using packages from the universe component.
Canonical 不提供对universe库内软件的全面安全升级的担保，但将通过社区提供这些软件的可用出处。 用户需明确使用universe库内软件包的内在风险
Popular or well supported pieces of software will move from universe into main if they are backed by maintainers willing to meet the standards set for main by the Ubuntu team.
流行的或被完善支持的部分软件，如果他们得到开发者的支持并愿意遵从main的标准，将被Ubuntu团队于universe库移入main库。

The Ubuntu software repository is divided into four components - main, restricted, universe and multiverse - on the basis of our ability to support that software, and whether or not it meets the goals laid out in our Free Software Philosophy.
Ubuntu软件仓库被分为四个部分:main（主要的）, restricted（受限的）, universe（广泛的） and multiverse（多元的），这主要根据我们对软件的支持能力，以及软件的目的是否符合我们的自由软件哲学。
The standard Ubuntu installation is a subset of software available from the main and restricted components. You can install additional software using installation software such as Synaptic Package Manager or Aptitude. Other components are added by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file. See "man sources.list" for more information on editing the sources.list file.
标准的Ubuntu安装是所有能从main（主要的）和restricted（受限的）软件库中获得的软件的一个子集，你可以用诸如Synaptic Package Manager或者Aptitude之类的软件安装程序来安装额外的软件，其他的软件仓库可以通过修改/etc/apt/sources.list文件来添加，请查看“man sources.list”来获得更多关于编辑sources.list文件的信息。
"main" component
“main（主要的）”软件库
The main distribution component contains applications that are free software, can freely be redistributed and are fully supported by the Ubuntu team. This includes the most popular and most reliable open source applications available, much of which is installed by default when you install Ubuntu.
Main部分的软件仓库包含了自由软件，这些软件可以被自由地重新分发，并且被Ubuntu团队完全支持。这主要包括目前可以得到的最流行的和最可靠的开源程序，它们中的大多数会在安装Ubuntu时候默认被安装。
Software in main includes a hand-selected list of applications that the Ubuntu developers, community, and users feel are important and that the Ubuntu security and distribution team are willing to support. When you install software from the main component you are assured that the software will come with security updates and technical support.
在main软件库中的软件包括可以手动选择的程序，Ubuntu开发人员、社区和用户都觉得这些程序重要，并且Ubuntu安全和发行团队乐意支持这些程序。当你从main软件库中安装软件时，你可以放心，这些软件都会得到安全升级和技术支持。
We believe that the software in main includes everything most people will need for a fully functional desktop or internet server running only open source software.
我们相信，在main中的软件包括了所有大多数人需要的软件，来用于一个全功能的桌面环境或者只运行开源软件的网络服务器。
The licences for software applications in main must be free, but main may also may contain binary firmware and selected fonts that cannot be modified without permission from their authors. In all cases redistribution is unencumbered.

受限仓库中的有些软件会被安装在Ubuntu CD里，但是被很清楚地分隔开来以保证可以很轻松地删除它们。我们包括进了这些软件是因为，如果要让Ubuntu在某些机器上运行，它们是必需的。典型的例子是，一些显卡制造商发行的二进制驱动是Ubuntu在这些机器上运行的唯一方法。默认情况下，我们只使用开源软件，除非根本没有其他方法来安装Ubuntu了。Ubuntu团队努力促使这些制造商加速这些软件的开源，以保证尽可能多的软件可以在自由软件许可证下使用。
