The GNU Project has been a major influence on free software development for more than a decade, creating a myriad of important tools such as robust compilers, powerful text editors, and even a fully functional operating system. The project was started in 1984 by MIT programmer Richard Stallman to create a free, UNIX-like operating environment. Since then, thousands of programmers have joined in the effort to produce free, high quality software which is accessible to everyone.
