At the FSF, we have a goal of increasing the size and strength of the free software movement. To expand the movement, we need to get the attention of people who have never heard of free software before, and explain why it's important. We have to make the case for the four freedoms that characterize free software, and to succeed fully, we must be able to do this for people who don't care to know more than they have to about computers.

The use of GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) encrypted emails is important for political dissidents, journalists, whistleblowers, and those who need to protect the privacy of their messages. GPG is an essential tool for securely encrypting and signing communications, to mitigate surveillance and impersonation. For some people, their very life, and the lives of those they love, are at stake, so ensuring that their communications are secure is critical.

Recently word started getting around that the terms for getting apps
on Windows Phone 7, and indie games on the Xbox, have changed. Now,
programs submitted to Microsoft cannot have any code licensed under a
copyleft license. Even if a single file is licensed under a weaker
copyleft license like the LGPL, Microsoft will apparently reject it.

Free software is simply software that respects our freedom — our
freedom to learn and understand the software we are using. Free
software is designed to free the user from restrictions put in place
by proprietary software, and so using free software lets you join a
global community of people who are making the political and ethical assertion of our rights to learn and to share what we learn
with others.
