'''FLOSS Manuals''' ('''FM'''), from the [https://www.FLOSSManuals.org FLOSS Manuals Foundation] in the {{tag|United Kingdom}}, is an international network producing collaborative {{tag|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 [[:Category:Commercial|commercial]] software companies which try to dominate the ICT industry.  Although {{tag|NotAWiki|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 [[:Category:Wiki Language|language]] communities include [https://en.FLOSSManuals.net English], [https://fr.FLOSSManuals.net French], [https://fi.FLOSSManuals.net Finnish], [https://fa.FlossManuals.net Farsi], and [https://nl.FlossManuals.net Dutch] FLOSS Manuals.  Originally, FLOSS {{tag|Manuals}} were usually published under the {{tag|Wiki GNU General Public License|GNU General Public License}} (GPL), and therefore they are available for anyone to copy and modify; more recently, they are published under the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike}} (CC-BY-SA) license.
