 Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to control technology. Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives. #FreeSoftware (aka #OpenSource) gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share software. These rights help support other fundamental rights like freedom of speech, freedom of press, and privacy. #SoftwareFreedom

It was great to be at #FOSSBackstage26 today, talking about #Openwashing and what we can do about it!

If you want to share your experience on the topic or know about example cases, you can take part in our survey:

By doing so, you also help us at the @fsfe to point to cases that are relevant for #publiccode in our talks and publications.
