FSF-approved "free Software" Licenses

Free Software Foundation, the group that maintains The Free Software Definition, maintains a non-exhaustive list of free software licenses. The list distinguishes between free software licenses that are compatible or incompatible with the FSF license of choice, the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license. The list also contains licenses which the FSF considers non-free for various reasons, but which are sometimes mistaken as being free.

Famous quotes containing the word free:

    The angels yawning in an empty heaven;
    Alternate shows of dynamite and rain;
    And choosing forced on free will: fire or ice.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
