GNU

Founded in 1984, GNU shepherds many vital freedom software (a.k.a. open-source) projects. Many projects not part of GNU use the name out of recognition.

FSF

Also in 1984, the Freedom Software Foundation (FSF) created the General Public License (GPL) and Library GPL (LGPL) to protect GNU’s software.

Linux

Seven years later, Linus Torvalds chose the GPL to protect a project which came to be known as Linux. Many GNU programs are essential to Linux and are bundled with Linux distributions.
