Dear Free Software Supporter,

Screenshot of the Bulletin.
The forty-sixth Free Software Bulletin is now available online!

Have you ever spent a perfectly good summer staring down the barrel of a 10MB executable in a hex editor or mitigating Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks? In the latest issue of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) Bulletin, you can learn why neither should be necessary. You can also read about the workings of social movements in our executive director's empowering call to speak up; discover how "no attribution" licenses hinder the goals of the free software movement, although they're free licenses; and understand how the use of free software in healthcare ensures freedom to healthcare workers and patients, increases transparency, builds trust with patients, and can reduce costs.

The latest issue of the Free Software Bulletin is now online and covers all these topics:

We have also sent out a printed version of this Bulletin to free software supporters worldwide. If you received the printed magazine in the mail, please let us know when it arrived, and help get the word out by sharing a picture of your copy with the hashtag #Bulletin! We love seeing how far the Bulletin travels and the impact free software has on people's lives around the globe. We encourage you to share your copy with friends and neighbors, leave it out for visitors to read, or talk with your family members about your experiences with free software.

Would you like to receive the printed Free Software Foundation Bulletin? Become an FSF associate member and join us in our crucial work to guard user freedom! Receiving the Bulletin is one of many member benefits. Every associate member counts and every new member will help us reach our fundraising goal of 200 new members. By supporting us today, you help secure a brighter future.

We know not everyone is in a position to donate $140 USD or more, which is why we also offer the Friends membership at $35 USD that comes with a different set of benefits. You can also now apply to receive a sponsored FSF membership.

We hope you enjoy reading the spring Bulletin!

Yours in freedom,

Miriam Bastian
Program Manager
