 <li>We collaborated with the <a href="https://fsf.org/">Free Software
 Foundation</a> to publish
 the <a href="/copyleft-compliance/principles.html">Principles
 of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement</a>, establishing community norms for
 enforcing the GPL in the public's interest, which have
 already been <a href="/copyleft-compliance/principles.kr.html">translated
 into Korean</a>.</li>
 <li>Along with FSF, we
 helped <a href="/news/2015/jul/15/ubuntu-ip-policy/">Canonical,
 Ltd. achieve compliance in its "Intellectual Property" Policy</a>, while

   around the globe advocating for their free and open source software

 interviews and <a href="/blog/">blogposts</a>, and
 Bradley and Karen published episodes of <a href="http://faif.us/">Free as in

 <p>We are focused on the most important ethical issues in software
 freedom. We work tirelessly and don't shy away from difficult issues.</p>
 <p>We're a unique organization &mdash; a staunch defender of copyleft (for Linux,
 Debian and many of our member projects), a source of education and champions
 of diversity for the community via Outreachy and other programs, and are the
 legal home to over 30 member projects that are essential to developing free
 software.</p>
