GNU Press is the publishing department of the Free Software Foundation. We are non-profit and all our proceeds go to supporting the Free Software Foundation and Project GNU. GNU Press is committed to publishing affordable books on computer science using freely distributable licenses.
GNU Documentation is unique because of our attitude towards it. We believe the reader should be free to copy and redistribute it, just like our software. Originally, all our documentation was released under a short Copyleft license, or under the GNU General Public License (GPL) itself; in 2001 the Free Documentation License (FDL) was created to address certain needs that were not met by licenses originally designed for software. For more detailed information on our theory of free documentation, please see Richard Stallman's essay, “Free Software and Free Manuals.” Please help us write more documentation! Project GNU is a world-wide movement and our software packages grow every day. For information on how to help, click Here.
Our original mission was to produce printed copies of documentation for GNU software programs. We are now expanding into the fields of general computer science and computer science philosophy as well. Our new “Philosophy of Software Freedom” series will examine the free software philosophy from a number of different angles, such as law, ethics, and business. We hope to bring the discussion into the mainstream, and show how the free software philosophy can be applied to seemingly unrelated fields, such as classical musical composition and art.

We welcome inquiries from potential authors, and are especially interested in working with computer science teachers to create more materials for classroom use. Expanding Bookstore Availability is an article written by a volunteer on how you can help to increase the distribution of GNU Press books where you live. |
