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>
