Free Software Foundation
Monday, March 20th, 2006“The Free Software Foundation (FSF), established in 1985, is dedicated to promoting computer users’ rights to use, study, copy, modify, and redistribute computer programs. The FSF promotes the development and use of free software, particularly the GNU operating system, used widely in its GNU/Linux variant.”
They also run the Free Software Directory, containing over 4000 free, software packages, many for use on Linux systems, although quite a few applications have a Windows version too - see below for a couple of examples.
