Open Source Software (OSS)

The wiki Open Hub (https://www.openhub.net/) is a free public directory of open source software.

In addition, open source alternatives to commercial products can be located at osalt (http://osalt.com/)

The Free Open Software Fundation (FSF, at http://www.fsf.org/) is also working to advance software freedom.

In an effort to make it easier for individuals to use, modify,  and share their work, the non profit corporation Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/) has work to provide creative common licenses that allows copyright holders to specify how their wok can be used.
