The '''GNU Project''' is a [[free software]], [[mass collaboration]] project, announced on September 27 1983, by [[Richard Stallman]] at MIT. 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 to get along without any software that is not free'.' " To make this happen, the GNU Project began working on an operating system called [[GNU]]. GNU is a recursive acronym that stands for "GNU's Not Unix". This goal of making a free software operating system 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 kernel\|Linux]]" being released as Free Software, under a GNU [[GPL]] v2 license.
