The Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a nonprofit with a worldwide mission to promote computer user freedom.

LibrePlanet 2021 will be an online event, CFS extended to November 11th

Watch and share 'Rewind' to help explain free software

'Rewind' is an animated video made for the Free Software Foundation (FSF) about a scientist in a dystopian reality who modifies the code of a program, leading to a groundbreaking discovery. But in our world, which is dominated by proprietary software, would she have the freedom she needs to make a difference?

Free software means that the users have the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. Thus, free software is a matter of liberty, not price. We have been defending the rights of all software users for the past 35 years. Help sustain us for many more; become an associate member today.

Our initiatives

• LibrePlanet is our network of free software activism around the world, including in-person events like our annual conference, and online collaboration spaces.

'This community that we have, that we're building, that does so much, hasto grow. We can't compete with Apple, we can't compete with Google,directly, in the field of resources. What we can eventually do is headcount and heart count. We can compete on the ground of ideology becauseours is better.'

-- Edward Snowden, NSA whisteblower, speaking at LibrePlanet2016.

GNU is the only operating system developedspecifically to give its users freedom. What is GNU, and what freedomis at stake?

What is GNU?

GNU is an operating system thatis free software—that is,it respects users' freedom. The GNU operating system consists of GNUpackages (programs specifically released by the GNU Project) as wellas free software released by third parties. The development of GNUmade it possible to use a computer without software that would trampleyour freedom.

We recommend installableversions of GNU (more precisely, GNU/Linux distributions) whichare entirely free software. Light torrent client. More about GNUbelow.

What is the Free Software Movement?

The free software movement campaigns to win for the users ofcomputing the freedom that comes from free software. Free softwareputs its users in control of their own computing. Nonfree softwareputs its users under the power of the software's developer. Seethe video explanation.

What is Free Software?

Free software means the users have the freedom to run,copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.

Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand theconcept, you should think of “free” as in “freespeech”, not as in “free beer”.

More precisely, free software means users of a program havethe four essentialfreedoms:

• The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
• The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
• The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
• The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Developments in technology and network use have made these freedomseven moreimportant now than they were in 1983.

Nowadays the free software movement goes far beyond developing theGNU system. See the Free SoftwareFoundation's web site for more about what we do, and a listof ways you can help.

More about GNU

GNU is a Unix-like operating system. Thatmeans it is a collection of many programs: applications, libraries,developer tools, even games. The development of GNU, started inJanuary 1984, is known as the GNU Project. Many of the programs inGNU are released under the auspices of the GNU Project; those wecall GNU packages.

The name “GNU” is a recursive acronym for “GNU'sNotUnix.” “GNU”is pronounced g'noo, as one syllable, like saying“grew” but replacing the r with n.

The program in a Unix-like system that allocates machine resourcesand talks to the hardware is called the “kernel”. GNU istypically used with a kernel called Linux. This combination isthe GNU/Linux operatingsystem. GNU/Linux is used by millions, thoughmany call it “Linux” bymistake.

GNU's own kernel, The Hurd,was started in 1990 (before Linux was started). Volunteers continuedeveloping the Hurd because it is an interesting technicalproject.

The GNU Project supports the Free Software Foundation's petition to call on school administrators around the world to stop requiring students to run nonfree software. Sign the petitionfor freedom in the classroom.

The GNU Project strongly urges the community to communicate in ways that are friendly, welcoming and kind. See the GNU Kind Communications Guidelines.
