If you're looking for a whole system to
install, see
our list of
GNU/Linux distributions which are entirely free software.
The GNU operating
system is the Unix-like operating system, which is entirely free
software, that we in the GNU Project have developed since 1984. The GNU
system contains all of the official GNU software
packages (which are listed below), and also includes non-GNU free
software, such as TeX and the X Window System. Also, the GNU system is
not a single static set of programs; users and distributors may select
different packages according to their needs and desires. The result is
still a variant of the GNU system.
If you're looking for a whole system to install, see our list of GNU/Linux distributions which
are entirely free software.
To look for individual free software packages, both GNU and non-GNU,
please see the Free Software
Directory: a categorized, searchable database of free software. The
Directory is actively maintained by the Free Software Foundation and includes
links to program home pages where available, as well as entries for all GNU packages. Another
list of all GNU packages is below. Free software documentation links are listed
separately.
We also maintain a list of high-priority free
software projects. Please help with these projects if you can. For
other ways to contribute to GNU, including taking over unmaintained GNU
packages and helping with development, see the GNU help wanted page.
If you are developing a GNU package, or you are thinking of starting,
you may be interested in GNU Software
Developer Resources. If you'd like to make your software an
official GNU package, see the evaluation
information and submission form. For information on the licenses
used for GNU software, and on other free software licenses, see our Licenses page.
Finally, we have a short list of
free software for Microsoft Windows, for Windows users who would
like to try free software.
