Buying hardware that plays well with free software has long been tricky business, even for us here at the FSF -- for a while now, we've done our best to collect information about devices that require only free software drivers in our Hardware Directory. Unfortunately, these recommendations are often hard to follow and go out of date quickly.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) is a free trade
agreement currently under negotiation that could require member
countries to enact strict copyright and patent legislation that hurts
free software users and developers. Our license compliance engineer
Brett Smith talked about the FSF's opposition to these terms with
negotiators last weekend; in this blog post, he shares his perspective
on the event.

Android GPLv2 termination worries: one more reason to upgrade to GPLv3

Distributors lose their rights when they violate GPLv2, but the Free
Software Foundation is more forgiving in its license enforcement to
encourage continued participation in the free software community.
GPLv3 has improved termination provisions to codify this approach,
giving developers one more reason to upgrade.

Last week, we asked you all to write to This American Life to thank
them for their episode about software patents, "When Patents
Attack!", and ask them to make it available in Ogg Vorbis format.
We thought it would also be helpful to offer them a copy of the show
that's already been converted to Ogg Vorbis; with this, the only
work they have to do is copy that file and post it on their own
servers. Here's the text of the letter we sent them.

'This American Life' did some great reporting about software patents.
Ask them to help solve these problems and offer the show in
patent-free formats.
