GNU logo

The GNU Manifesto is a call-to-action by Richard Stallman encouraging participation and support of the GNU Project's goal in developing the GNU free computer operating system. The GNU Manifesto was published in March 1985 in Dr. Dobb's Journal of Software Tools.[1] It is held in high regard within the free software movement as a fundamental philosophical source.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

The full text is included with GNU software such as Emacs, and is publicly available.[8]
