#+title: fsf-membership #+date: <2020-08-02> 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]].
