What does all it mean for the #FreeSoftware community?
In #Thuringia, the #CDU wants to remove the priority use of #FreeSoftware software from the public procurement law. This threatens digital sovereignty and must not happen.
:fsfe: Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to control technology. Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives. #FreeSoftware (aka #OpenSource) gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share software. These rights help support other fundamental rights like freedom of speech, freedom of press, and privacy. #SoftwareFreedom Public Money? #PublicCode ! #DeviceNeutrality #UpcyclingAndroid #RouterFreedom #ilovefs #YH4F #REUSE #DigitalRights
