After 100 days in office, the German federal government falls short on #FreeSoftware: Draft procurement act fails to secure tech sovereignty by prioritising Free Software. The “Germany Stack” lacks EU coordination and transparency. No reliable long-term funding for Free Software in the budget.

Make “Public Money? Public Code!” the rule: Software paid with public money must be Free Software! The time to act is now!

🏦 💰 Taxpayer money should fund public goods.

When governments invest in software, it should be #FreeSoftware: software that gives the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share.

It's now basically impossible to log in to @EUCommission portal if you use GNU/Linux or other libre platforms.
The "EU Login Mobile App" is closed-source, which I refuse to install. No passwd or libre OTP option available.
It's a disgrace that the #EU forces their citizens to use propietary, closed source operating systems and applications.
Now we can not update news or releases of #GNUhealth in OSOR/JoinUP/Interoperable Europe until they change this rubbish portal. And we've been there since 2011.
