Early in the history of this template we had a list of applications, but it was obvious that it was going to get pretty large pretty fast, so we opted to go with a link labeled " List of applications" that leads to <a href="/wiki/List_of_open_source_software_packages" class="mw-redirect" title="List of open source software packages">List of open source software packages</a>. CUPS is linked from that list indirectly, it is under "Category:Free PDF software", linked from "PDF Main article: Category:Free PDF software". Based on that it could be argued that this template altready links through indirectly to CUPS. I think it is really an issue of how large we want this template to get.

Even if, for example in the case of Java, the Sun's JVM is free software there are a lot of other compilers and virtual machines that aren't. And in any case, even if it has some sense linking to a particular implementation of a compilation toolchain for given programming language, the language per se cannot be considered free software or not. From my POV, it would be more interesting in that section to link to development tools like binutils, gdb, autotools, qemu... but IMO it doesn't have any sense to link to a programming language.

Those OpenGL libraries may be bundled with the development and/or run-time options or may be purchased from a third-party software vendor without licensing the source code or use of the OpenGL trademark. </pre> <p>even though money is involved, but I think OpenGL is probably registered as an NPO. --<a href="/wiki/User:Ramu50" title="User:Ramu50">Ramu50</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Ramu50" title="User talk:Ramu50">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:FOSS#c-Ramu50-2008-11-26T01:15:00.000Z-OpenGL_and_Y!OS" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:15, 26 November 2008 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Ramu50-2008-11-26T01:15:00.000Z-OpenGL_and_Y!OS"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Ramu50-2008-11-26T01:15:00.000Z-OpenGL_and_Y!OS"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Ahunt-2008-11-26T01:26:00.000Z-Ramu50-2008-11-26T01:15:00.000Z"></span>I think we need more information on that one and the Wikipedia article needs to explain that better before it is included. - <a href="/wiki/User:Ahunt" title="User:Ahunt">Ahunt</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Ahunt" title="User talk:Ahunt">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:FOSS#c-Ahunt-2008-11-26T01:26:00.000Z-Ramu50-2008-11-26T01:15:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:26, 26 November 2008 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Ahunt-2008-11-26T01:26:00.000Z-Ramu50-2008-11-26T01:15:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Ahunt-2008-11-26T01:26:00.000Z-Ramu50-2008-11-26T01:15:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Rilak-2008-11-26T05:16:00.000Z-Ahunt-2008-11-26T01:26:00.000Z"></span>Software which is available for free may not necessarily be free in the sense of this template because it is free as in beer (in other words, it is free in price, not in the right to modify, fork, etc.). What is quoted is that the OpenGL API is free to use in certain situations (<i>Application developers do not need to license the OpenGL API.</i>), and it needs to be licensed in others ("<i>Generally, hardware vendors that are creating binaries to ship with their hardware are the only developers that need to have a license.</i>). If we read the GPL and other compatible or similar licenses, this kind of restriction is present, so no, with the information presented, OpenGL is not FOSS and is therefore out of the scope of this template. It should be noted that it is called "OpenGL", it does not mean "open" in the context of FOSS.

Because unlike other distributions Ubuntu distributions does have a project, not just targeting at the mainstream entertainment. The majority of the mainstream distributions have no specific kernel architecture changes, thus placing them would be useless. My idea was the Mach kernel itself is a family, but in comparison to other OS I don't think any other OS family besides BSD, have so many foundations supporting them. Thus I think they are XNU OS Project out there its just we don't know about them. The reason why I pointed out XNU, because it is a successful hybrid kernel that Adobe, Eclipse. Likewise with other projects e.g. scripting languages of Pascal, Delphi, SmallTalk are all equivalent notable as Perl, Python...etc. Most of them have web application framework, virtual machine, compliers...etc supporting them but if a template doesn't exist who will ever understand them. For the same reason if the XNU was not being place who will ever know their project. --<a href="/wiki/User:Ramu50" title="User:Ramu50">Ramu50</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Ramu50" title="User talk:Ramu50">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:FOSS#c-Ramu50-2008-11-29T21:28:00.000Z-XNU?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:28, 29 November 2008 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Ramu50-2008-11-29T21:28:00.000Z-XNU?"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Ramu50-2008-11-29T21:28:00.000Z-XNU?"></span> </p><p><br/><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Ramu50-2008-11-29T21:40:00.000Z-XNU?"></span> Speaking of Distributions I think OpenSolaris needs to be removed.

The objection by <a href="/wiki/User:Ahunt" title="User:Ahunt">User:Ahunt</a> was the following: </p><p>disagree - there is a lot more to free software than Gnu </p><p>While I agree that there are many organizations that contribute to free software (as there are many organizations which contribute to open source) it <a href="/wiki/Richard_Stallman" title="Richard Stallman">Richard Stallman</a> who started the Free Software movement. The following paragraph comes from the <a href="/wiki/Free_Software" class="mw-redirect" title="Free Software">Free Software</a> page </p><p>The free software movement was conceived in 1983 by Richard Stallman to satisfy the need for and to give the benefit of "software freedom" to computer users. The Free Software Foundation was founded in 1985 to provide the organizational structure which Stallman correctly foresaw would be necessary to advance his Free Software ideas. </p><p>The use of the GNU logo is not attempting to say that GNU is the ONLY free software project. The logo is not attempting to be a measure of software that organizations have written. It IS attempting to describe the thinking behind FOSS which comes from both the GNU project and OSI. </p><p>Perhaps you can think of a better logo than the current one and better than the one I proposed. And if so, that would be great because the current logo needs to be replaced. The current logo which is simply an the acronym for Free and Open Source Software written on a green square with curved edges is only relevant from the text on it. By that I mean, for example, if a company made a device which was a combination of a Stapler and Three Hole Puncher and the device was commonly called STHP, writing "STHP" on a green background hardly makes it a "logo" for the Stapler and Three Hole Puncher device. A logo should convey the subject it is representing. Going back to the example, unless the company had a color scheme that EVERYBODY would recognize and it used a very unique font, then a logo with the background and color scheme of the company which "STHP" written in the font would be appropriate but if not, it really doesn't have anything to do with the STHP besides the fact it says on on the logo. </p><p>Ahunt - Knowing that the logo represents the thinking behind Free Software and Open Source Software and not the number of commits to any source tree, do you still have a problem with it? </p><p><a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Harrisonmetz&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Harrisonmetz (page does not exist)">Harrisonmetz</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Harrisonmetz" title="User talk:Harrisonmetz">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:FOSS#c-Harrisonmetz-2009-04-04T14:57:00.000Z-FOSS_Logo" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:57, 4 April 2009 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Harrisonmetz-2009-04-04T14:57:00.000Z-FOSS_Logo"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Harrisonmetz-2009-04-04T14:57:00.000Z-FOSS_Logo"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Ahunt-2009-04-04T15:18:00.000Z-FOSS_Logo"></span>Thanks for your comment, I do understand where you are coming from on this. However putting a GNU emblem on this free software nav box would be like putting a "Ford" emblem on the automobile nav box, just because Ford first mass-produced cars. There are many more types of cars than Ford and there is much more to free software than GNU.

RMS is controversial to some people (although your implication that that's a reason not to use this logo implies that RMS wrote the entirety of GNU by hand, which is pretty damn impressive but not even remotely true ... well, either that or it implies that RMS looks an awful lot like a Gnu), the OSI is controversial to some people, both are controversial to people both within and without their respective communities. But that's the whole idea behind the term F/OSS and this logo ... it's saying "I don't care which of these camps things come from, I like the software." The FSF's logo would be an obvious choice, but the FSF use the Gnu as their logo more often than not, and the other logo is just really difficult to mix into the OSI logo in a pretty way :), so the Gnu was chosen instead to represent that group. If your complaint is that FSF != GNU, that's a totally different argument, but if the FSF and OSI can't collectively represent the term F/OSS, what can? Your other logo "Tux+Gnu+BSD" is an admiral attempt to represent major software projects in F/OSS-land, but this logo represents the <i>meaning</i> of the term F/OSS better. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:GregorR&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:GregorR (page does not exist)">GregorR</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:GregorR&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:GregorR (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:FOSS#c-GregorR-2009-04-04T16:40:00.000Z-Ahunt-2009-04-04T15:59:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:40, 4 April 2009 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-GregorR-2009-04-04T16:40:00.000Z-Ahunt-2009-04-04T15:59:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-GregorR-2009-04-04T16:40:00.000Z-Ahunt-2009-04-04T15:59:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Letdorf-2009-04-06T09:55:00.000Z-GregorR-2009-04-04T16:40:00.000Z"></span>Do we really <i>need</i> a logo for this navbox anyway?

A section like notable software cannot be completely objective, but neither can the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability" title="Wikipedia:Notability">WP:Notability</a> of an article be completely objective. It would be great if this navbox could have sections which were smaller so that they were easier to parse. For example: "History" is great, I immediately see what it covers, but "Organizations" is rather daunting, there are three lines of links. Similarly, it's annoying that it takes a while to find <a href="/wiki/Linux" title="Linux">Linux</a> in the list of OSes. I guess, what I'm saying is that these could all be expanded until they were unreasonably huge as well and then deleted and replaced by some "List of .." article that wouldn't really help anyone. However I think that there is an alternative, which is to be more selective, to list "Notable packages", but allow some packages to be added or deleted over time. For example, we could get a more representative set of packages, I don't think that Thunderbird needs to be there because Firefox already is, etc. Well that's my 2 cents.
