Software Freedom Podcast
In this monthly Software Freedom Podcast episode we are talking with the Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions (NIIS) and their X-Road, a Free Software well-used in public institutions. Together with Johannes Näder from the FSFE, and Petteri Kivimäki (NIIS) we discussed the current challenges that Free and Open Source Projects meet in public institutions.

April brought LLW, where we gathered with Legal Network members to discuss a wide range of legal and licensing topics. One of them was the DMA, legislation that is keeping us busy: we are exposing how Apple keeps blocking third-party developers, denying their interoperability requests. On a brighter note, over ten years of advocacy paid off: the EC is protecting users' right to install any software on radio devices. And we reached episode 50 in our SFP!
Press Release
England’s National Health Service (NHS England) is preparing to make most of its public source code repositories private by default, according to recent reports. The move appears to be based on concerns that public code repositories could be scanned by AI systems to identify vulnerabilities. The reported internal guidance, referred to as “SDLC-8”, would require public repositories to be made private unless an explicit exception is approved.

I believe Free Software needs a voice at the national as well as the EU level in politics: Software does not exist in an isolated bubble, it's heavily dependent on the ecosystem that it lives in. In my opinion Free Software as well as open standards are key to creating a society that provides equal access.

Soy socio de la FSFE porque quiere mantener su trabajo de promocionar el Software Libre. Como persona que usa ordenadores intensivamente todos los días, me preocupa mucho la tendencia actual hacia el bloqueo de la informática, que aleja el control de los usuarios. Esto cada vez es más problemático ya que las vidas de las personas dependen más y más de los ordenadores, para comunicaciones personales, gestión de su economía, empleo, etc. El Software Libre es un requisito necesario para mantener el control de tu informática.
What is the biggest benefit of Free Software? Freedom!
