    Bradley and @karen published their thoughts about the TikTok ban yesterday:

    "Users (and our government) should instead insist that, to operate in the USA, that ByteDance respect the software rights and freedoms of their users by releasing both the server and App components of the software under a “free and open source” (FOSS) license.

      Everyone is asking the wrong questions about TikTok
      As we write this, everyone is wondering what will happen with TikTok in the next 48 hours. Social media as a phenomenon was designed to manufacture drama to sell advertising, and in this moment, the meta-drama is bigger than the in-App drama.The danger of pervasive software is clear: powerful entities — be they governments or for-profit corporations — should not control the online narrative and remain unregulated in their use of personal data generated by these systems. However, the approach taken by Congress and upheld by SCOTUS remains fundamentally flawed. When there is power imbalance between a software systems' users and its owners, the answer is never “pick a different owner”.

    SFC filed an amicus brief in the Neo4j suit. The brief provides detailed legal analysis as to why the AGPL holds and is relevant for this case. You can read more as well as the briefing that was filed here:

      SFC Files Amicus Brief in Support of Users' Rights under AGPLv3§7
      SFC filed an amicus brief in the ongoing case of Neo4j, Inc. v. PureThink, LLC, which is now appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The appeal focuses on a downstream licensee's right under the Affero General Public License, version 3 (and similar rights under GPLv3 and LGPLv3) to remove “Further Restrictions” — even when such restrictions are put in place by original licensors. SFC was proud to stand up for this important right under copyleft, and appears to be the only organization that filed an amicus brief in this case.

      Karen Sandler interviews Cory Doctorow
      Our Executive Director Karen Sandler recently sat down with Cory Doctorow to talk about software right to repair, the utility and history of DMCA exemptions, and some of the differences between the way laws take effect in different places around the world. Doctorow is widely known for his speculative fiction touching on issues of technology, activism, and post-scarcity economics. We were so excited for this conversation, many on SFC staff are fans and had a great time preparing for the conversation.

    Big news: a recent copyleft lawsuit we funded and supported has concluded with a very positive result for user rights! The suit, brought by a device owner in Germany, resolved with the purchaser receiving the right to repair, modify, and reinstall LGPLed software on their devices.

      SFC-funded lawsuit gets software repair and reinstall for users of AVM routers
      Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) today announces the conclusion of a lawsuit that we funded and supported in Germany. (As is typical with German cases, SFC was unable to give public updates during the case.) The defendant, Berlin-based AVM, ultimately delivered the necessary information to reinstall modified software on their device. Delivery of this information resolved the lawsuit. The plaintiff was Sebastian Steck, who received a grant from SFC to pursue this work. Steck purchased an AVM router in May 2021 and quickly found that the source code candidate which AVM sent him could not be compiled and reinstalled onto his router. AVM, the largest home router manufacturer in Germany, refused to correct its source code candidate. Steck sued AVM in a Berlin court in July 2023.

      Linux banned Russian contributors. Does my FOSS project need to worry about U.S. Sanctions?
      Since the Linux project removed a number of entries from the MAINTAINERS file, all of whom were putatively Russian, in October, we've been receiving questions about U.S. sanctions against Russia and what, if anything, we should do about them. As I explain below, our position is that such drastic action, though defensible, is unnecessary.

    SFC and its OpenWrt project just released the OpenWrt One: the first router built from the hardware up by OpenWrt community. We begin today a new era in software-freedom-focused hardware design. The One puts your rights and freedoms first and an unbrickable device that will last.

    OpenWrt One is available today for US$89. For every purchase of the One, a US$10 donation will go to the OpenWrt earmarked fund at SFC. If you're looking to shop for gifts today, as many in the USA are, we encourage you to put the OpenWrt One on your list!

      First Router Designed Specifically For OpenWrt Released
      Today, we at SFC, along with our OpenWrt member project, announce the production release of the OpenWrt One. This is the first wireless Internet router designed and built with your software freedom and right to repair in mind. The OpenWrt One will never be locked down and is forever unbrickable. This device services your needs as its owner and user. Everyone deserves control of their computing. The OpenWrt One takes a great first step toward bringing software rights to your home: you can control your own network with the software of your choice, and ensure your right to change, modify, and repair it as you like.

      Success in the DMCA triennial
      Software Freedom Conservancy is proud to announce its successful work in the latest triennial DMCA exemption process to stand up for the rights of FOSS developers. This week, the Copyright Office granted all of the exemptions we requested, according to the final rule Exemption to Prohibition on Circumvention of Copyright Protection Systems for Access Control Technologies. Due to these rulings, the LoC renewed the DMCA exemptions SFC established for the jailbreaking of routers and smart TVs, and for investigating copyleft compliance. Our executive director, Karen Sandler, also successfully participated in a coalition of medical device researchers in a request to renew the exemption for medical devices. SFC's Director of Compliance, Denver Gingerich, also participated and gave testimony during the hearings (for Computer Programs—Repair, led by iFixit and discussed below) when the LoC was looking for expert opinion.
