Company Description

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has been about making software freely available for distribution and modification before anyone ever heard of "Linux" or "open source." The FSF was founded in 1985 and helps support the GNU Project, which was established in 1984. GNU (pronounced guh-noo) stands for GNU's Not UNIX and is an operating system that is meant to run on any number of computers and servers. GNU predates Linux, the popular OS created by Linus Torvalds and thousands of volunteer programmers. In conjunction with the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the FSF operates the Free Software Directory, a collection of more than 3,000 free-software programs.
