PP3 is a free software that produces sky charts, focussing on high quality graphics and typography. It is distributed under a slightly modified MIT License and available for Linux and Windows.
Sky charts are produced as LaTeX files, so an installation of LaTeX and Ghostscript is required to obtain results in PostScript or PDF formats. Knowledge of command line syntax for these packages is however not required, as PP3 can run the conversions automatically.
Wikipedia's own star charts are produced by PP3. Most of these are in the constellations category.
