This is a list of open-source software packages: computer software licensed under an open-source license. Software that fits the Free software definition may be more appropriately called free software; the GNU project in particular objects to their works being referred to as »open source«. For more information about the philosophical background for open source software, see free software movement and Open Source Initiative. However, nearly all software meeting the Open Source Definition also meets The Free Software Definition and vice versa. Software that meets either is listed here.

DAMICON'S LIST OF OPEN SOFTWARE
This List of Open Software is comprised largely of open-source packages. Most people who review the list below are surprised by the quantity and depth of open-source software. Many of us think of Linux when we hear "open source". While Linux is a great example of the open-source process, it is a small segment of the movement. Many open-source applications are available for Microsoft Windows and the Apple Macintosh.
Take a tour of open-source software by following some of the links below. You'll be amazed! To learn more about how DAMICON can help you navigate the open-source landscape, visit our Open Software Program page.

Today is Saturday,January 12, 2008
Hello and Welcome!
Feeling Locked In?
Don't let the major software vendors lock you in. Firms like Adobe, Computer Associates, Microsoft, Oracle, Symantec and others have great products. But business is about choices. You have other options and you owe it to yourself and your budget to examine them.
Open source is not for everyone (but neither is Windows). DAMICON simply wants to help you to make an informed decision.
All software available without charge is not the same. If you'd like to learn more, the Free Software Foundation has a good article about software categories and licensing methods.
The list on this page is not intended to be a complete and all-inclusive review. If you know of a software package that you think should be on this list please email us.
Much more comprehensive information can be found at SourceForge.
If you're interested in the use of open-source software in primary and secondary education, please visit Schoolforge.
About Us Contacts FAQ's Privacy Policy Copyright © 2003-2007 DAMICON, LLC - All rights reserved.
(24/12/2005): OSSwin now also has a separate games page. Go check it out and please promote the organization of an Open-Source-only LAN-party in your neighbourhood!
