Known Free Software Android Applications

 

Known Free Software Android Applications

http://trac.osuosl.org/trac/replicant/wiki/ListOfKnownFreeSoftwareApps

We would like to list here all known Free Software applications that can be installed on an Android phone, particularly the HTC Dream.

Le Wiki Koumbit has a list of  free/libre apps for Android.

I used this page as a basis for a similar wikipedia  page, but it is flagging it as copyrighted content. I don't see a copyright notice on the wiki, but as this is an OSS top-to-bottom project, I think it would be a good idea to release the wiki under an open source license.
