OSR: GNU
Free as in freedom
[From the GNU site] GNU is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not UNIX"; it is pronounced guh-noo, like canoe. The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop a complete UNIX-like operating system which is free software: the GNU system. Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the kernel called Linux, are now widely used; though these systems are often referred to as "Linux", they are more accurately called GNU/Linux systems.
