Free Software Foundation

US organization, based in Boston, which creates and distributes good-quality free software and utilities. FSF is the publisher of the GNU software, which includes compilers, operating systems, utilities, editors, databases, and PostScript viewers. All the software is free of licensing fees and restrictions.

The FSF was founded in 1983 by US artificial intelligence specialist Richard Stallman as a way of bringing back the cooperative spirit of the computing community's early days that had vanished by the early 1980s with the advent of widely sold proprietary software. The project's ultimate goal is to make commercial software obsolete by providing free software to do everything computer users want to do.
