GNU

The free software foundation's project to provide a freely distributable replacement for Unix. The GNU manifesto was originally published in the March 1985 issue of Dr. Dobb's Journal; however, the GNU project started a year and a half earlier when Richard Stallman was trying to get funding to work on his freely distributable editor, Emacs.
