Free and Open Source Software

Listed below are some very useful software packages that you can use for free. Many of these are very powerful and allow you to do some things that you never thought you would be able to do for free!

Please remember, open source means that you will give credit where credit is due and if you find a way to improve any of these software packages (or any others you may find) you are obligated to share that improvement with the open source community.

This is a great way to keep these alternatives available and allows everyone the freedom to use programs other than the ones created for proprietary use by the big software companies.
