== The free software definition ==
Software is open-source if its source is released to the public. Software is free (which is a more narrow term) if the licence the source is released under gives users the basic software freedoms, as stated in [https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html the free software definition]. To quote it, a program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms:
* 0) The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
* 1) The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
* 2) The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
* 3) The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
To stress freedoms 0, 2, and 3, it [http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html is preferable] to use the term "free software" or "libre software" over the term "open-source software".
When adding new software to the list, please link to their FSF directory entry, when you can. To add the FSF directory entry, please use one of these templates:

Revision as of 14:45, 29 October 2015

This is an incomplete list of the free software and open source projects Mozilla relies upon. As a starting point, it lists each project along with a short statement of how we depend on it. Where practical it would also be helpful to identify a Mozillian most closely associated with our use of each project, as next steps will involve contacting each one to find out more about how we can best provide support.

This is a work in progress - please contribute to this list.
