Free (Libre) and Open Source Software (FLOSS/FOSS)

Ranked #94,776 in Computers & Electronics, #1,520,419 overall

FLOSS for Home Users

Free (Libre) Open Source Software is software that is readily available to anyone to use, copy, improve, examine and/or distribute to friends, family, co-workers.  FLOSS is very popular in the server world (ie, LAMP) but is somewhat slower in gaining popularity in the home (or desktop) world. Indeed I find that I have trouble giving away free software.  The mentality that "If it is any good, why is it free?" is hard to change.   With this Lens I hope to spread the word about FLOSS!
