    Some of us like free stuff though and the post never said that it was supposed to be a list of FOSS projects.

      I guess this is Technology not Linux or FOSS, but feels like the difference is often mixed up and it’s not all about cost. Anyway, looks like there is now a added note they aren’t all FOSS.
