FSF Advocates Free Software for U.S. IPEC Joint Strategic Plan
,----[ Quote ]
| The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has
| responded to the United States executive
| "Intellectual Property" Enforcement
| Coordinator (IPEC) Joint Strategic Plan.
|
| The FSF argues that the government should
| use free software to provide more freedom
| and transparency to its constituents and
| reduce the need to engage in costly
| copyright enforcement activities on behalf
| of proprietary software companies. The FSF
| states that "the most egregious harms to
| the public interest in the areas of
| copyright and patents come not from a lack
| of enforcement, but from extraordinarily
| excessive enforcement."

| After many successful months of GNU
| Generation, GNU Generation 2.0 was

| This builds upon the original GNU
| Generation by lowering the entry barrier to
| free software contribution, and making the
| program more extensible.

Incoming distros

| This is a list of new projects for free
| distros. They have not been evaluated for
| freedom yet, so they are not in the gnu.org
| distros list. Most of them are beta
| software, and this list might also contain
| projects not yet released or started.
