While trying to make a list about piracy, I realized that it's pointless and that at the current day, legal free stuff is way more than paywalled stuff, if you are looking at the right places.

Also in my opinion, if free offering companies got big they will rise their products quality and eventually will normalize the culture of getting your stuff for free, instead of paying for it or pirating it.

So that bring me back to this question, is there is any currently active list of legal free stuff?

Thank you, I might create a list that does not include software as it has been covered a lot.
