This list of GNU packages lists notable software packages developed for or maintained by the Free Software Foundation as part of the GNU Project. GNU is a Unix-like computer operating system composed entirely of free software. Many of these software packages are used together with the Linux kernel to build complete computer operating systems. ==What it means to be a GNU package== Summarising the situation in 2013, Richard Stallman identified nine aspects which generally apply to being a GNU package, but he noted that exceptions and flexibility are possible when there are good reasons: # The package should say that it is a GNU package. # It should be distributed via ftp.gnu.org, or another site offering access to everyone. # The package's homepage should be on the GNU website. # The developers must pay attention to making their software work well with other GNU packages. # Documentation should be in Texinfo format, or in a format easily convertible to Texinfo. # Should use GNU Guile for its extension language, but exceptions are explicitly possible in this regard. # Should not recommend any non-free program, nor refer the user to any non-free documentation or non-free software. # Use GNU terminology, such as GNU/Linux for the operating system and "free software" rather than "open source". # The maintainer should be contactable, at least infrequently, to discuss problems in the software or fixing compatibility issues. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of GNU packages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
