About GNU

Blazing the trail for the burgeoning Open-Source and Free-Software community, the GNU General Public License remains the most widely used free software license, originally written by Richard Stallman for the GNU Project.

This license was originally written by Richard Stallman for the GNU Project and revolutionised the development of open-source software and has helped establish the philosophy that gives recipients of a computer program the rights of the free software definition and uses "copyleft" to ensure the freedoms are preserved, even when the work is changed or added to.
