The GNU Project was announced in 1983 by Richard Stallman . It initiated the GNU Operating System , software development for which began in January 1984. The founding goal of the project was, in the words of its initial announcement, to develop "''a sufficient body of Free Software {Link without Title} to get along without any software that is not free.''" That goal was achieved in 1992 when the last gap in the GNU system, a Kernel , was filled by a third-party Unix -style Kernel Called "Linux" being released as free software. PHILOSOPHY Although its most visible output is technical, the GNU Project was launched as a social, ethical, and political initiative. As well as producing software and licenses, the GNU Project has published a large number of philosophical writings - the majority of which were penned by Stallman.
