centered around ethical technology. Our mission is to ensure the right to
repair, improve and reinstall software. We promote and defend these rights
through fostering free and open source software (FOSS) projects, driving
initiatives that actively make technology more inclusive, and advancing policy
strategies that defend FOSS (such as copyleft). <a href="/about" class="orange">Learn more.</a></p>
