To help promote knowledge of free software that isn't
<a href="/philosophy/categories.html#GNUsoftware">GNU
software distributed by
software</a> released under the FSF</a>, auspices of the <a 
href="/gnu/gnu.html">GNU Project</a>, we have collected the following
links to other web sites that contain free software, or are directly
related to the issue of free software.
</p>

<p>
We do not have links to web sites of the well-known GNU/Linux
system distributions, or to the well-known BSD system
distributions, because all those sites explicitly describe,
and facilitate access to, various non-free nonfree programs.  We would
be glad to know of other free software web sites that we could
link to here.
