What is the GNU license?
The GNU Free Documentation License (GNU FDL or simply GFDL) is a copyleft license for free documentation, designed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) for the GNU project. It is the counterpart to the GNU General Public License that gives readers the same rights to copy, redistribute and modify a work and requires all copies and derivatives to be available under the same license. Copies may also be sold commercially, but if produced in larger quantities (greater than 100) then the original document or source code must be made available to the work's recipient.
What was the reason behind the creation of Linux?
According to its creator, Linus Torvalds, it was just for fun, but also mainly to teach himself the 386 instruction and feature sets. Erroneously, a lot of FSF types like to claim Linux was created to provide the world with a free and open source operating system, but at no point has anyone involved in the actual creation of Linux ever stated this as a motivation. The reality was that at the time Linus had no actual ambition for the project (It 'wouldn't be big like GNU' in his own words.) Even today, Linus has often been vocal in his criticism of Richard Stallman and the FSF for following a blind "everything must be free and open source" mentality. He believes more in a "use what works best" philosophy, as do most Linux users, a great deal of whom could care less about the GPL.
Example of open source application software?
Linux - A free and open-source operating system.FreeBSD - A free and open-source operating system.Mozilla Firefox - A free and open-source web browser.Google Chrome - A free and open-source web browser.Audacity - A free and open-source audio editor / mixer.MAME - An open-source (but not free in the FSF sense) emulator set for arcade machines.MySQL- A free and open-source database server.MESS - An open-source (but not free in the FSF sense) emulator set for vintage computers.VirtualBox - A (mostly) free and (mostly) open-source virtualization suite.Firefox, GNU/Linux, Thunderbird, OpenOffice etc.
What is the role of the free software foundation in the development of Linux?
On a technical level? Nothing directly. In fact, as time went on it seemed like Richard Stallman seems to really dislike Linux. Some claim that Linux wouldn't exist without GNU, which was RMS' doing, but in all honesty Linux could still have easily existed without it. It's nnot like GCC was the only C compiler in existence in 1991.
How do you get cheats and codes for garden party world?
There are no cheats that I know of but, FSF codes could be obtained by these flower fun toys in Europe but they are no longer sold anymore sadly. So there are no cheats and codes for garden party world anymore.
Can you make money off of the program GIMP?
The last answer wrote: No you can not The GIMP is under the GNU License so you can not This is actually a wrong answer... The right answer is: Is it legal to sell copies of GIMP? Yes. The terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification of GIMP are clearly listed in the GNU General Public License. Redistribution for free or for profit is specifically allowed, as long as the license is included and the source code is made available. See also Selling Free Software on the FSF site. Besides the rights and conditions given by the GPL, it would also be nice (but not required) to mention in any advertising that the product being sold is GIMP (or a bundle including GIMP) or is derived from it. http://www.gimp.org/about/selling.html Not being allowed to make money from a GNU GLP licence, is actually a misconception: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html
