- The Free Software Foundation (FSF) supports the GNU Project, which creates important free software and inspires advocacy for software freedom.
- FSF launched LibrePhone to reverse-engineer nonfree blobs in mobile SoCs, focusing on radio blobs for WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, and cellular communications to advance mobile phone freedom.
- Lead developer Rob Savoye extracted firmware from over 200 Lineage packages, processed 85GB of files, and found shared software across devices, accelerating progress.
- Despite challenges like proprietary baseband firmware and threats to digital rights, FSF continues developing free software, with each freed blob representing progress.
- Free software powers two-thirds of internet servers, all top 500 supercomputers, and 98% of codebases, with widespread use on personal devices, showcasing the impact of the four freedoms.
- LibrePhone is a long-term project requiring time, financial support, and volunteers, similar to the GNU Project, to achieve free mobile phone computing.
