DAMICON'S LIST OF OPEN SOFTWARE
This List of Open Software is comprised largely of open-source packages. Most people who review the list below are surprised by the quantity and depth of open-source software. Many of us think of Linux when we hear "open source". While Linux is a great example of the open-source process, it is a small segment of the movement. Many open-source applications are available for Microsoft Windows and the Apple Macintosh.
Take a tour of open-source software by following some of the links below. You'll be amazed! To learn more about how DAMICON can help you navigate the open-source landscape, visit our Open Software Program page.
