Only open source or free too? about awesome-sysadmin HOT 2 CLOSED

tl;dr: nope, only open source.

This list is specifically about open source software, which is the whole spirit of the "awesome-" movement. The point in this is that you can report bugs, fix them, add new features etc. without worrying about a restrictive license model.

There's a statement at the top of the list, quote:

A curated list of amazingly awesome open source sysadmin resources

You can't fork freeware, which is not awesome in my eyes. I'd rather tighten the rules a little to set the focus to Free and Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS). To be honest, 95% of the software mentioned already adheres to this mentality.

Thanks a lot for your constructive input!

Hi,
@n1trux , yes, then, why not a second list with software that isn't open source, but is free and can help SysAdmin too?

A list with this words as examples "These applications isn't awesomeness, but probably will help you if Awesome open source projects can't"
