1983 年 9 月,Richard Stallman 宣布了开发一个自由的类 Unix 操作系统的计划,这个计划被称为 GNU 。 GNU 是唯一一个为用户的自由而设计的操作系统。

GNU 是什么?

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.

GNU的截图

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.

GNU Guile

GNU Guile 是 GNU 操作系统的官方扩展语言。2011 年 2 月 16 日发布了 Guile 的 2.0 版本。这个版本包含了 大量新特性。 它的编译架构、库、动态编程环境使它成为一个出色的编译语言。 现在就加入开发社区!

GNUstep

GNUstep 是一个完整的面向对象的开发环境。我们需要开发人员为GNUstep编写和移植应用程序,以便为用户提供更好的开发体验。

自由软件是什么?

自由软件” 是权利问题,不是价格问题。要理解这个概念,自由应该是“言论自由”中的“自由”,而不是“免费啤酒”中的“免费”。

自由软件关乎使用者运行、复制、发布、研究、修改和改进该软件的自由。 更精确地说,自由软件赋予软件使用者四种自由:

  • 不论目的为何,有运行该软件的自由(自由之零)。
  • 有研究该软件如何运行,以及按需改写该软件的自由(自由之一)。取得该软件源代码为达成此目的之前提。
  • 有重新发布拷贝的自由,这样你可以借此来敦亲睦邻(自由之二)。
  • 有改进该软件,以及向公众发布改进的自由,这样整个社群都可受惠(自由之三)。取得该软件源码为达成此目的之前提。

采取行动

Can you contribute to any of these High Priority Projects? Gnash, coreboot, free distributions of GNU/Linux, GNU Octave, drivers for network routers, reversible debugging in GDB, automatic transcription, PowerVR drivers, and also free software replacements for Skype, OpenDWG libraries, and Oracle Forms.

Can you take over an unmaintained GNU package? alive, dotgnu-forum, dr-geo, ggradebook, gnu-queue, goldwater, gsrc, halifax, metahtml, orgadoc, pgccfd, polyxmass, quickthreads, snakecharmer, sxml, trueprint are all looking for maintainers. We also need GNU configure for Python packages.

The Free Software Foundation is the principal organizational sponsor of the GNU Operating System. Our mission is to preserve, protect and promote the freedom to use, study, copy, modify, and redistribute computer software, and to defend the rights of Free Software users.
