The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today announced its project to bring mobile phone freedom to users. “Librephone” is an initiative to reverse-engineer obstacles preventing mobile phone freedom until its goal is achieved.

Librephone is a new initiative by the FSF with the goal of bringing full freedom to the mobile computing environment. The vast majority of software users around the world use a mobile phone as their primary computing device. After forty years of advocacy for computing freedom, the FSF will now work to bring the right to study, change, share, and modify the programs users depend on in their daily lives to mobile phones.

    Not a good choice for a name, at first I though it was just another linux phone that would be useless for 90% of people.

    Very cool project instead, hope this can lead the fondation for a 100% open source mobile OS.

      The day a open source project has good marketing is the day the end of the world happens.

      It’s just impossible for some reason.

      Agree. Marketing isn’t really the in the wheelhouse of most Linux/open source projects.
