I believe in ideas of free software, “free” as in “free speech”. This post is about software which is “free” as in “free bear”. Below is the list of programs which I used regularly, liked a lot, and at some time supported authors with a donation.
- IrfanView, image viewer for Windows. It really surprises me how a single developer can create a product superior to what thousands of developers and managers at Microsoft have done during years!
- WordPress threaded comments plugin, allows the comments to nest as they do in most popular blogging services. You can see the plugin running in this blog.
- Wikipedia, not exactly the software, but also free as in free bear. Once I learned so useful things out of it that I decided that I am in debt.
