Category talk:Free application software

category Application software

Category:Application software is the top of the application software tree and its subcategories contain ALL (all that I've found!) application software categories. Free and non-Free. The purpose of the "Free application software" category is only to gather the free applications subcategories together for the "Free software" subcategory of Category:Software by license.

If "Free application software" is categorized as "Application software" it shows up as a subcategory and that is confusing, making it appear that Free software is kept in a separate tree. It's not, every Free software category is linked to the corresponding not-free category. See, for example, Category:Business software, one of its subcategories will be Category:Free business software. And that's the way it is setup, throughout the application area. (it's not that way in programming tools or system software but that doesn't affect the application area). Thanks 69.106.246.15 (talk) 00:44, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
