Press Release
The Court of Justice of the European Union has rejected Apple's challenge to the interoperability obligations under the Digital Markets Act. The Court also confirmed the App Store as a core platform service. The FSFE acknowledges this as a major win for computer users and developers.

The past few weeks have been busy for YH4F 2026 participants: the programming period wrapped up on 30 June with project submissions for evaluation. We also submitted our position on the EC's Android interoperability consultation, and published an in-depth study by an FSFE volunteer examining whether the Teufel Mynd speaker truly qualifies as Free Software and Open Hardware.
Community
The FSFE's volunteer and open hardware passionate, Nicole Faeber read about the Teufel Mynd speaker announced as an "Open Source Project", so she decided to put it to the test. We, the FSFE, bought one and she dug in. Curious what she found? Read along with us!

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!
