What is Free Software?

Free software or software libre is software that can be used, studied, and modified without restriction, and which can be copied and redistributed in modified or unmodified form either without restriction, or with minimal restrictions only to ensure that further recipients can also do these things and that manufacturers of consumer-facing hardware allow user modifications to their hardware. Free software is available gratis (free of charge) in most cases.

- Inkscape: Inkscape is a free and open source vector graphics editor application. Its stated goal is to become a powerful graphics tool while being fully compliant with the XML, SVG, and CSS standards.

- Scribus: Scribus is a desktop publishing (DTP) application; released under the GNU General Public License, it is free software. Native versions are available for Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows.
