We are here to promote your freedom

Our work begins by asking ourselves, “Is it free?” because our purpose is to respect your individual user needs, autonomy, and right to decide for yourself. We empower people to build a future built on free software that, above all, puts the user first. By supporting our work, you help support everyone's rights.
Please help us reach our goal of $400,000 USD!

Laugh along with GNU

This section is designed to provide some laughs to the working hackers. It contains software, documentation, music, poems, etc. submitted by GNU users and collected by GNU contributors over the years.

Nowadays there are many places on the internet where people can publish jokes, so before submitting a joke to us, please consider publishing it somewhere else. Jokes submitted by GNU contributors will have a priority. Please read the Guidelines for details on our submission policy.

Many of the graphics in the GNU Art Gallery also have humorous twists.

Humor Submission Guidelines

This is our policy to include something in the fun section:

  1. It should be funny.
  2. It has no copyright problems.
  3. It is not libelous.
  4. It won't offend most ordinary hackers more than is reasonable in humor.
  5. Although the humor does not have to be strictly connected to the computers world, we strongly prefer to reserve these pages for jokes related to free software, GNU, the UNIX environment, and similar fields.
