Free Software on phones has been of major importance over the past decades. Android is a big cornerstone in that area, but which distribution suits your use case? Which one respects your freedom and supports your daily life? In this series, we will try to answer those questions.

The use of large language models (“LLMs”) has exploded in recent years, including in the generation of source code. But even as their usage gains popularity, these trends bring with them pressing legal questions as well: if code is generated by an LLM, is that code copyrightable? And if so, who owns the copyright to that generated code?

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.
Isabel Drost-Fromm (Software Engineer and Member of the Apache Software Foundation)
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.
What is the biggest benefit of Free Software? Freedom!
