Le but de cette page est de montrer que les logiciels libres utilisent souvent les licences copyleft (comme la GNU GPL) mais également les licences permissives (BSD, MIT, X11, domaine public, etc.). Nous ne prétendons pas qu'il soit "mal" d'utiliser des logiciels libres qui ne sont pas "really free".
Remarque : « BSD » dans la colonne licence signifie qu'il s'agit d'une licence de type BSD.
