{{Short description|None}} {{About|software free to be modified and distributed|examples of software free in the monetary sense|List of freeware}}
This is a '''list of free and open-source software''' ('''FOSS''') '''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.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |url=https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html |title=Why Open Source misses the point of Free Software |author=Richard Stallman |date=July 13, 2011 |access-date=August 24, 2011}}</ref> 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.
