The FSF's Librephone project

Date:
Tue, 14 Oct 2025 22:11:52 +0000

Description:
The Free Software Foundation has announced the launch
of the Librephone project, which is aimed at the creation of a fully-free
operating system for mobile devices. Practically, Librephone aims to close 
the last gaps between
	existing distributions of the Android operating system and software
	freedom. The FSF has hired experienced developer Rob Savoye
	(DejaGNU, Gnash, OpenStreetMap, and more) to lead the technical
	project. He is currently investigating the state of device firmware
	and binary blobs in other mobile phone freedom projects,
	prioritizing the free software work done by the not entirely free
	software mobile phone operating system LineageOS.
