Coordination for software projects to fill the gaps in 100% free software GNU/Linux distributions. This mostly involves fixing freedom problems in existing free and almost-free software. This is the main page for the public facing, volunteer driven, endorsed/common distributions program.

GNU/Linux Libre - Freed Software

Coordinating freeing efforts, usually involving GNU/Linux, across multiple projects.

Tag any related pages with [[Category:FreedSoftware]] - in addition, you probably should also link to them from text in this page.
