[Open-access] FOSsil Bank Update (6 October 2012)

Sat Oct 6 07:01:42 UTC 2012

Hi folks,

Another fortnight, another update. As always, if you find free, libre and
open source stuff please email me or add it to the wiki yourself.

This time, I've tried sorting the libre works by category. Let me know if
you prefer that or if you'd rather go back to an undifferentiated list.
