Let F be a free group. Denote by the quotient group by the commutator subgroup which is a free abelian group. The fact that the natural map from Aut(F) into Aut() is an epimorphism, in case when F is finitely generated, was known as a consequence of the theory of Nielsen transformations ([2]) Proposition 4.4 and [3] Corollary 3.5.1).
