Librephone

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has been working on software freedom in computing for 40 years now, and now, we are venturing into what we have found to be one of the most challenging areas of computing: Mobile phones. Most individuals do a lot of their computing on mobile phones.

A lot of work is being done in mobile phone freedom. However, mobile phone computing remains largely nonfree due to a wide range of nonfree software blobs that commonly occur in even the most progressive "free software" operating systems.

Librephone is the FSF's project to free up those blobs. This project's goal is not another Android distribution, but a long-term project to better understand and reverse-engineer the nonfree blobs used by virtually all SoCs made today.
