List of free and open-source software packages – Wikipedia

This article is about software free to be modified and distributed. For examples of software free in the monetary sense, see List of freeware.

This is a list of free and open-source software packages, computer software licensed under free software licenses and open-source licenses. Software that fits the Free Software Definition may be more appropriately called free software; the GNU project in particular objects to their works being referred to as open-source.[1] For more information about the philosophical background for open-source software, see free software movement and Open Source Initiative. However, nearly all software meeting the Free Software Definition also meets the Open Source Definition and vice versa. A small fraction of the software that meets either definition is listed here.Some of the open-source applications are also the basis of commercial products, shown in the List of commercial open-source applications and services.

Be advised that available distributions of these systems can contain, or offer to build and install, added software that is neither free software nor open-source.
