🚀 Our February newsletter is out 🚀

February is a reminder of why our #FreeSoftware community matters and why it's such a joy to be part of it! 🎊

After #FOSDEM, we are now looking ahead to the celebrations of the #ilovefs day ❤️across Europe.

We are also catching up with our latest episodes of the Software Freedom Podcast focused on European policy; 🎧

And a Legal Corner article about the freedom to study source code

⚖️ New Legal Corner Article ⚖️

This time, we take an in-depth look at a ruling issued last autumn in Spain. This decision provides a legal precedent that underlines the importance of transparency in source codes and algorithms, and support for the Freedom to Study!

Many thanks to @civio for their outstanding work!

It's been a long fundraising season given #SFC's stretch match, but we are close to the end; we're just about to be ≤ $10k to take advantage of all our generous match donations this season.

We appreciate all who have donated & hope that you can give a little bit more now.

Or, if you forgot to give last year or at #FSODEM2026, now is your change to double your donation.

Thanks to all who donated at #FOSDEM. We raised a *lot* at #FOSDEM26.
