Since the mid-1990s, Stallman has spent most of his time advocating for free software,
as well as campaigning against both software patents and what he sees as excessive extension of copyright laws.
Stallman pioneered the concept of copyleft and is the main author of several
copyleft licenses including the GNU General Public License,

The project, called Open Ajax, aims to create a single framework that standardizes development and debugging on a common library of Ajax widgets that could run on multiple Ajax runtimes.

Besides IBM, which instigated the project, Open Ajax is endorsed by BEA.

    Free OpenOffice 3 download

    January 27, 2009

    OpenOffice.org 3 is the result of over twenty years’ software engineering. Designed from the start as a single piece of software, it has a consistency other products cannot match. A completely open development process means that anyone can report bugs, request new features, or enhance the software. The result: OpenOffice.org 3 does everything you want your office software to do, the way you want it to.

    free software downloads

    OpenOffice.org 3 can be downloaded and used entirely free of any licence fees. OpenOffice.org 3 is released under the LGPL licence. This means you may use it for any purpose – domestic, commercial, educational, public administration. You may install it on as many computers as you like. You may make copies and give them away to family, friends, students, employees – anyone you like.
