Known Free Software Android applications
Http://trac.osuosl.org/trac/replicant/wiki/ListOfKnownFreeSoftwareApps
We wowould like to list here all known free software applications that can be installed on an Android phone, the HTC Dream.
Le wiki koumbit has a list
Free/Libre apps for Android.
I used this page as a basis for a similar Wikipedia
Page, but it is flagging it as copyrighted content. I don't see a copyright notice on the Wiki, but as this is an OSS top-to-bottom project, I think it wocould be a good idea to release the Wiki under an open source license.
