List of proprietary software for Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is an incomplete list of proprietary software for Linux, to support the argument in an article on Linux that the amount of proprietary software for Linux is growing.
The list should also help computer users in their process of transitioning to the Linux operating system.
