— Free Software Foundation — working together for free software

The FSF's Hardware Endorsement Program: by Brett Smith — published Oct 07, 2011 — last modified Oct 07, 2011 03:55 PM
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 Unfortunately, these recommendations are often hard to follow and go out of date quickly.

Android GPLv2 termination worries: one more reason to upgrade to GPLv3: by Brett Smith — published Aug 18, 2011 — last modified Aug 18, 2011 06:48 PM
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.

Helping out This American Life—with an Ogg copy of the show: by Brett Smith — published Aug 01, 2011 — last modified Aug 24, 2011 10:23 AM
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.
