SFP#40: How to tackle Openwashing?

It took us some time but we are finally there: The Software Freedom Podcast episode is releasing its 40th episode! In this one Johannes and Bonnie talk about Openwashing.

Openwashing is a misleading practice of pretending that some software is Free Software even though it is not. Discover together with Johannes and Bonnie what Openwashing actually is, which strategies are used by openwashers, and – most importantly – how to counteract it. Find out more about how to support "Public Money? Public Code!" and help everybody to spot cases of Openwashing.

In our 40th episode, you can learn more about the FSFE's policy work and how we as a charity advocate for software freedom. You can support our work by donating.
