| | Producing Open Source Software |
| | Without listing every project and every license, it's safe to say that by the late 1980's, there was a lot of free software available under a wide variety of licenses. | | | There should be a brief list of the features the software supports (if something isn't completed yet, you can still list it, but put "planned" or "in progress" next to it), and the kind of computing environment required to run the software. | | | This is not a complete list, of course. |

| | Frequently Asked Questions about the GNU GPL - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF) |
| | The license list page gives a partial list of GPL-compatible licenses. | | | To answer this question, we would need to see a list of each component that your program uses, the license of that component, and a brief (a few sentences for each should suffice) describing how your library uses that component. | | | Our manuals also include sections that state our political position about free software. |

| | Open Source - Closed License |
| | At the time of writing (February 2001) there are 18 licenses on the Open Source[1] Initiative[2] Approved Licenses list[3] and on the GNU Projects'[4] / Free Software Foundation's[5] free software[6] licenses page[7] there are 15 GPL-compatible free software licenses, 2 free documentation licenses and in total 42 software licenses plus 4 non-software licenses. | | | In a collaborative project, there can be conflicting morals and beliefs about licenses [22] which in broad terms are the GPL (virus) versus every one else, restated as, free software (GNU definition) versus open source (Eric Raymond and friends). | | | There are many Free Software/ Open Source licenses, semi-free and semi-open liceses and the number of them is increasing. |

| | Free software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Debian doesn't publish a list of approved licenses, so its judgements have to be tracked by checking what software they have allowed into their archives. | | | Freedom from such restrictions is central to the concept of "free software", such that the opposite of free software is proprietary software, and not software which is sold for profit, such as commercial software. | | | Most free software is distributed gratis online, or off-line for the marginal cost of distribution, but this is not required, and people may sell copies for any price. |

| | Make Your Open Source Software GPL-Compatible. Or Else. |
| | For example, the FSF developed the GPL and maintains a list of licenses that it believes to be compatible and not compatible with the GPL. | | | SourceForge.net reported on November 10, 2003 that the GPL accounted for 71% of the 45,736 projects it hosted with OSI-approved open source licenses (next most popular were the LGPL, 10%, and the BSD licenses, 7%). | | | Many OSS/FS developers prefer the GPL, because they believe the GPL (1) provides a better quid-pro-quo for developers, (2) establishes collaboration between people and companies better than consortia, (3) protects their work in today’s less-than-kind environment, and/or (4) encourages increasing the amount of Free Software. |

| | Also, when acquiring Microsoft OEM software (such as OEM Microsoft Office 2003, Windows XP Pro, Windows XP Home, Windows SBS 2003, etc.), be sure you purchase the OEM software through an authorized OEM distributor (see the list at: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/authdist/default.mspx) as this is the only way to ensure you are purchasing legitimate OEM Microsoft software. | | | OEM Microsoft Office licenses have always require the distribution with "a fully assembled computer system;" however, some people have either misunderstood this or tried to convice others that somehow the former "non-peripheral hardware" clause applied to OEM Office licenses. | | | OEM Office and OEM Desktop Operating System licenses must be sold with a fully assembled computer system and must also be preinstalled on the fully assembled computer system that it is being sold with. |
