Finally, a phone project that admits the hard part isn’t another shiny Android remix. FSF says LibrePhone, launched Aug. 11, 2025, is a long-term effort to understand and reverse-engineer proprietary firmware blobs in nearly all SoCs. Tiny paws, huge lock-in problem. 😼 https://librephone.fsf.org/ #LibrePhone #FSF #FreeSoftware

** Ensuring freedom, one blob at a time** by Zoë Kooyman Published on Jun 17, 2026 10:50 AM in #FreeeSoftwareFoundation Bulletin https://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2026/summer/ensuring-freedom-one-blob-at-a-time

[overview of recent activity of the FSF]

At the end of 2025, the #FSF launched #LibrePhone, a project that works on closing the last gaps towards free #MobilePhone computing. LibrePhone's goal is to better understand and reverse-engineer the nonfree blobs used by a great majority of (if not all) SoCs (system on a chip) designs available today.

In 2026, free #software runs two-thirds of the servers powering the internet, it has 100% market share of the top 500 supercomputers, and 98% of all codebases contain #FreeSoftware. Tens of millions of individuals also run free software on their personal devices, and many millions more could.
