GNU Labs is an initiative to bring students to Free Software development. It is officially supported by [http://www.gnu.org The GNU project] which was founded by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) to develop a completely Free (as in Freedom) operating system. The Software development by GNU Lab is based on the ethos of Software Freedom put forward by the [http://www.fsf.org Free Software Foundation] and [http://www.gnu.org The GNU Project]. It believes software must be  [http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html free] and works for the user's freedom to study, modify, share and redistribute the Software. The GNU Labs aims to enhance existing free softwares  & their documentation, propagate & convey the needs & benefits of free software to public and support the students to do their free software projects. The lab follows a set of laws called as GNU Labs law, GLL, which the lab volunteers should follow. These laws are not meant to restrict the benefits, but to set freedom as a standard for the lab works. Any group inside an educational institution which  works for software freedom can start GNU Labs inside their campus by following GLL. Doing so is indeed most welcomed.
