Yes, Absolutely:

Welcome aboard GNUWin II !

GNUWin II is a free software compilation for Windows.

      Software GNUWin II includes numerous programs, completely free,
which cover a wide spectrum of uses. The complete application list,
sorted by type, is available here:
http://gnuwin.epfl.ch/apps/en/bestlist.html

      The software included in GNUWin is not shareware nor freeware, but
original free software and Open Source software, for which the source
code is available, and that is and will always be free (free both as in
"free speech", and as in "free beer").

      Most programs included in this CD are also available for free and
Open Source operating systems, such as GNU/Linux, BSD, etc.
