I am a proud associate member of Free Software Freedom. For me the
philosophy of Free Software is about ensuring the enrichment of a
digital commons, so that knowledge and information are not concentrated
in the hands of selected privileged people and locked up as
"intellectual property". The genius of copyleft licenses like GNU (A)GPL
ensures software released for the public, remains public. Open source
does not care about that.

If you also care about the public good, the hacker ethics, or the spirit
of the web, please take a moment to consider joining FSF as an associate
member. It comes with [[https://www.fsf.org/associate/benefits][numerous
perks and benefits]].
