În luna septembrie a anului 1983 Richard Stallman a anunțat planul de a dezvolta un sistem de operare liber ca Unix-ul numit GNU. GNU este singurul sistem de operare dezvoltat specific pentru libertatea utilizatorilor.
Ce este GNU?
GNU is a Unix-like operating system that is free software—it respects your freedom. You can install Linux-based versions of GNU which are entirely free software.
The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop the GNU system. The name “GNU” is a recursive acronym for “GNU's Not Unix!”. "GNU" is pronounced g'noo, as one syllable, like saying "grew" but replacing the r with n.
A Unix-like operating system is a software collection of applications, libraries, and developer tools, plus a program to allocate resources and talk to the hardware, known as a kernel.
The Hurd, GNU's own kernel, is some way from being ready for daily use. Thus, GNU is typically used today with a kernel called Linux. This combination is the GNU/Linux operating system. GNU/Linux is used by millions, though many call it "Linux" by mistake.

GNUstep este un mediu de dezvoltare orientat pe obiecte total funcțional. Avem nevoie de dezvoltatori să scrie și să porteze aplicații pentru GNUstep pentru a crea o experiență bună pentru utilizatori.
Ce este Software Liber?
“Software liber” este o chestiune de libertate, nu de preț. Pentru a înțelege conceptul, ar trebui să vă gândiți la “liber” (free) ca în “libertatea cuvântului” (free speech), nu ca în “bere gratis” (free beer).
Software liber se referă la libertatea utilizatorilor de a rula, copia, distribui, studia, schimba și îmbunătăți software-ul. Mai precis, se referă la patru feluri de libertăți, pentru utilizatorii de software:
- Libertatea de a rula programul, pentru orice scop (libertatea 0).
- Libertatea de a studia cum funționează programul și a-l adapta la nevoile dvs. (libertatea 1). Accesul la codul sursă este o precondiție pentru aceasta.
- Libertatea de a redistribui copii pentru a putea ajuta vecinul dvs. (libertatea 2).
- Libertatea de a îmbunătăți programul și a distribui îmbunătățirile dvs. publicului, pentru ca întreaga comunitate să beneficieze (libertatea 3). Accesul la codul sursă este o precondiție pentru aceasta.
