Dear Free Software Supporter,
ShoeTool is an animated fairy tale about an elf shoemaker who thinks
he buys a machine to help him make shoes... only to find out that
there are strings attached to his "purchase." Please show your support
for free software and this video by promoting it on your social
media using the #shoetool hashtag.
Here's a short URL you can use: https://u.fsf.org/shoetool
Software restrictions, analogous to the kinds of restrictions our main
character Wendell runs into as a user of the promising ShoeTool, are
detrimental to our freedom, creativity, and jobs. We hope watching
Wendell's frustrations will shake things up in many homes and help
more people understand.
Wishing everyone happy holidays and a liberated 2020!
Sincerely,
The Free Software Foundation
Zoë, Andrew, Craig, Dana, Dawn, Donald, Greg, Ian, Jeanne, John H.,
