Comparison of Nonfree and Free Software
mignu edited this page 7 years ago
This page compares free and nonfree software. For list of free software only, see here. For list of proprietary software only, see here.
This is a list of nonfree software compared to free software for all computer purposes daily. This list made easy so everyone can easily identify whether a software is nonfree and instantly know the free replacement for it. This list encourages all computer users to refuse nonfree software listed here, and use instead the free replacements. This list does not promote nor encourage nonfree software listed here unless solely to make people know they are nonfree to finally refuse them all.
Note: the term 'proprietary' is the same as 'nonfree'.
