FSF Europe condemns Apple's DMA noncompliance

Description:
The Free Software Foundation Europe has submitted a joint position to the 
European Commission (EC), claiming that Apple
has failed to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA). This is the law
that requires Apple to support alternative application stores on the devices 
it
makes. Apple's unfair behaviour against Free Software highlights the critical 
need to
monitor the implementation of the DMA. The FSFE collaborated with F-Droid, the
AppFair project, and other interoperability experts to scrutinize Apple's DMA
compliance, and it's impact on Free Software. Since then, we coordinated 
several
expert workshops with stakeholders, discussed with regulators in FOSDEM , had 
official meetings with the EC's DMA team , and submitted a comprehensive 
position to the EC detailing several problematic elements in the Apple 
compliance that
will harm the Free Software.
