Decades-long victory, bold Apple survey findings, legal workshop success & our 50th podcast episode

Newsletter

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!

FSFE: NHS England should not hide public code behind closed doors

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.

I'm a supporter of the FSFE as I want to sustain their work to promote Free Software. As a person that uses computers quite heavily every day, I'm very concerned with the current trend of locking down computing which is taking control away from the users. This is increasingly problematic since people's lives are more and more dependent on computers for personal communications, managing finances, employment, etc. Free Software is a necessary requirement for retaining control over your computing.
