A free software job is any job centered on the creation, promotion, oversight, support, sales, marketing or installation of free software.

Here are some common examples of free software jobs:

• GNU/Linux systems administrator
• Web developer using free software like PHP, Python, Ruby, Django and Apache
• Organizer working to install GNU/Linux or Open Office in elementary schools
• BSD installation and support, coupled with hardware sales
• MySQL database administration
• Bounties or short-term free software coding jobs
• On-site instructor for free software like Plone or MySQL

Here are some examples of jobs that don't fit the criteria:

• 20% GNU/Linux sysadmin and 80% internal support for desktops running a proprietary operating system
• Developing proprietary software applications, even if they run on the GNU/Linux operating system
• Jobs focused on proficiency with proprietary applications, even if some free software is involved
• Jobs that don't have anything to do with software at all
