 On September 27, 1983, Richard Stallman made an announcement on a Usenet message, introducing the world to the GNU Project, which stands for "GNU's Not Unix”.

The idea behind the project was to develop and publish free software that granted users the rights to run, copy, distribute, study, and modify the software. This was a significant departure from proprietary software practices prevalent at the time.
