Current Campaigns

• The GNU Operating System — a complete, Unix-like operating system made entirely of free software. Many people today are using GNU as part of a GNU/Linux system. We have a list of distributions we endorse, and explanations for why we don't endorse some common distributions.
• ACTA -- the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement is an imminent threat to the distribution and development of free software.
• DefectiveByDesign.org: FSF's campaign to eliminate Digital Restrictions Management (DRM). DefectiveByDesign.org is a broad-based anti-DRM campaign that is targeting large media companies, unhelpful manufacturers and DRM distributors. The campaign aims to make all manufacturers wary about bringing their DRM-enabled products to market. DRM products have antifeatures built-in that restrict you and spy on your activities. These products have been intentionally crippled from the users' perspective, and are therefore "defective by design". We aim to make it clear that DRM is an anti-social technology and practice.
• EndSoftPatents.org: FSF supported campaign to eliminate software from the scope of patentability through legal and legislative action. This site is an overview of how courts self-expanded their jurisdiction to include software despite the protests of practitioners such as Bill Gates or Adobe Microsystems, of the economic damage done, how the story is evolving today, and how we can restore the software market to a world run by innovators, not judges. Join the action alert mailing list.
  
• Campaign for OpenDocument: Our governments should adopt a policy requiring that all digital public documents and information be stored and distributed in formats that are standard, open, and royalty-free. OpenDocument Format (ODF) is one such format. Get informed on OpenDocument issues and take action against Microsoft's Office Open XML format.
  
• PlayOgg.org: FSF's campaign to promote Ogg, a free alternative to patent-encumbered formats like MP3 and AAC
• RIAA Expert Witness Fund: In conjunction with "Recording Industry vs. The People" we have established a fund to help provide computer expert witnesses to combat the RIAA's ongoing lawsuits, and to defend against the RIAA's attempt to redefine copyright law. Read more about why the FSF is involved.
• Free BIOS: A computer BIOS initializes and verifies critical system components during start up. Our campaign for a Free BIOS will ensure freedom at the lowest level.
• Hardware devices that support free software:  A  growing directory of hardware that respects software freedom. Part of our campaign to encourage manufacturers to support free software - read our white paper The road to hardware free from restriction
  
• High Priority Free Software Projects: Projects critical to free software that need your help.
  
• Resist the imposition of Digital Restrictions Management. This area also covers Treacherous Computing, often misleadingly called Trusted Computing.
• Broadcast Flag
• Additional volunteer opportunities are here.
