FSF is an organisation that promotes free software.
Open Source is a development model that results in better, more relevant and more secure software.
2.Who is responcible for GPL / LGPL Licencing?
Whoever releases their software under the GPL or the LGPL. There is no central authority that tracks or manages all GPL/LGPL software in the world.
3.If i want my project to get GPL / LGPL Licencing should i apply for open source or fsf people.
No, just follow the guidelines in the (L)GPL (How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs) and release your software.
Regards,
-- Raju
