FLOSS Manuals (FM), from the FLOSS Manuals Foundation in the United Kingdom, is an international network producing collaborative free software manuals. FLOSS is the acronym for 'Free, Libre, and Open Source Software', and is a vital movement to counter the oppressive dominance of the few commercial software companies which try to dominate the ICT industry. Although not a wiki, FLOSS Manuals encompasses the wiki spirit of collaborative writing. It was created by Adam Hyde, who has been the main driving force behind the project. Currently the active language communities include English, French, Finnish, Farsi, and Dutch FLOSS Manuals. Originally, FLOSS Manuals were usually published under the GNU General Public License (GPL), and therefore they are available for anyone to copy and modify; more recently, they are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-BY-SA) license.
Since the project started in 2007, the FLOSS Manuals community has written more than 120 books in over 30 languages, covering all sorts of topics, from open video, libre graphics, and internet security.
