This is a list of useful free software that I frequently use. When I say "free", I am referring to FLOSS software, or "Free/Libre Open Source Software". FLOSS software can be released under several different licenses. In general, you are free to view the source code, modify the code, and redistribute the software. Also, the software is usually high-quality, and does not cost any money to download and use.
