Hi everyone! We wanted to provide a little clarification on the answer to this question. Someone kindly pointed out that I Love Free Software Day was first celebrated in 2010 without the label that we now know. It wasn't until 2012 that this holiday was labeled as I Love Free Software Day.

We're so sorry for the error in the original question and answer, and really appreciate kind individuals reaching out to let us know of these kinds of errors.

A #ThankGNU! to Jared Flatow, Jason Freidman, J Bernauer and K Cavalotti Fund, and Jean-Francois Blavier for helping the FSF to promote #FreeSoftware. To see a longer list of those who have helped us financially in our advocacy for #SoftwareFreedom and awareness: https://u.fsf.org/45m

We've been fighting for free software for #40Years now. We're just as dedicated as we ever have been, but need your support to keep our work and activism going: https://my.fsf.org/donate

It looks like we had a pretty even split of answers for when #ilovefs day was first started! We wish it had started as early the '90s, but the very first I Love Free Software Day was celebrated in 2012.

Thank you for playing #trivia with us this week ❤️ we hope you found lots of ways to celebrate why you love free software last week.
