Todos los años, PCM nos regala una lista del mejor software gratuito disponible en la red.
Aquí está, pues, la edición del 2012 de dicha lista.
Una especie de "biblia" para los amantes del software gratuito. Y aunque no todos, muchos son de licencia GPL.
Mayormente disponible para Windows, se indican otras plataformas cuando corresponda.
