🏆 A big milestone along a decade-long road.

🌐 Governments around the world now understand the value of #OpenSource for global digital cooperation, & are rapidly working to become "good citizens" in the global community. Efforts like the #UN Open Source Principles help to bridge the connections that will make those contributions successful. #RedHat is a good role model of private sector contributions.

🇺🇳 Congrats to our Open Source United team for these ongoing efforts!

Back in April we asked you for a helping hand regarding legal matters. We got plenty of people willing to help or at least to guide us towards other like-minded projects that might have the experience we were looking for.

Our of those discussions #FDroid will publish a series of posts that go through all the lessons learned and we hope these will be useful to all #FLOSS #FOSS contributors, maintainers, and developers out there.

Take a 10 minute break for the intro: https://f-droid.org/2025/08/04/legal-one.html
