This is a category of articles relating to software that meets The Free Software Definition. That is to say that users can freely use, study, copy, redistribute, modify, and publish modified versions of the software, making it "free software" or "open-source software". In practical terms, this means either software whose source code has been released into the public domain, or software which is distributed with a free software license, including, but not limited to, the list of FSF approved software licenses, and whose source code is available to anyone who receives a copy of the software.
Going forward, please add articles to specific sub-categories instead of to this general category.

Free software, roughly, is software that comes with source code which can be modified and redistributed. The free software movement is a social movement to secure, for software users, the right of people to control their computers and to cooperate with others, when they choose, as part of a community. The movement was launched by the GNU project in 1983. Free software is also referred to as "open-source software", "libre software", "FLOSS", and "FOSS".

Category lists software programs that are free to download, pages describing how to use them, and where to download them. Note that the software in this category may still be proprietary. Software that is open source should also go under the Open Source Software. Note that some "free" software is free to download but requires a payment to fully be activated, and others allow for a free trial period.
