FSF reaches out to social activists (NewsForge)
NewsForge covers
the Free Software Foundation. "2006 may be remembered as the year
that the Free Software Foundation (FSF) reached out to the community. The
FSF has already undertaken an unprecedented year-long consultation process
about the revisions to the GNU General Public License, and the Defective By
Design campaign against digital rights management technologies. Now, the
FSF is planning a third campaign to deliver its message about ethical
software to social activists outside the technical communities. "We think
that social groups taking on policies about free software can act as a huge
lever within schools, trade unions, local governments, and churches," says
Peter Brown, executive director of the FSF."
