Actually, most of the programs not GNU (ie, the GNU organization didn't
make them). However, I assume you mean that most of the apps are under
the GNU Public License (GPL), which is a license anyone can release software
under (as long as they themselves abide by the license, of course!)
>From the FreshMeat contribution form, they accept software that's
released with any of the following licenses:
AFPL
Apache Style
Artistic
Artistic & GPL
BSD type
Commercial <-- ie, not free / GPL / GNU ;)
Eiffel Forum Freeware License
free for non-commercial use
free to use but restricted
Free Trial
freely distributable
Freeware
GPL <-- there it is! ;)
IBM Public License
LGPL <-- and the related Library GPL
MIT
MPL
OpenSource <-- Not sure what this means, since
Public Domain GPL and many other licenses are
QPL considered "Open Source." Maybe
Shareware "OpenSource" (one word) is a specific
source-available commercial license. Confusing...
-bill!
nitpicking all day today, sorry ;)
