What does exactly the means than the @Curia@curia.social-network.europa.eu 🧑⚖️ dismissed Apple’s challenge against its designation under the #DMA? What was Apple trying to do and why is this judgment important for #SoftwareFreedom?
⚖️ In our newest #LegalCorner article we explain the details of this case:

🎉 Ultimul brevet pentru MPEG-4 Part 2 a expirat! DivX și Xvid sunt acum complet libere la nivel mondial
O eră importantă din istoria codecurilor video se încheie oficial: ultimul brevet care proteja standardul MPEG-4 Part 2 (cunoscut pentru formatele populare DivX și Xvid din anii 2000) a expirat.
💡 Ce înseamnă acest lucru?
🔓 Fără redevențe sau licențiere:
Producătorii de hardware, dezvoltatorii de aplicații comerciale, proiectele multimedia și distribuțiile Linux pot include acum suport nativ de codare/decodare MPEG-4 Part 2 fără teama de taxe sau procese legate de brevete.
🐧 Ideal pentru distribuțiile Linux:
Distribuțiile cu politici extrem de stricte privind software-ul brevetat vor putea include suport de bază pentru aceste formate fără a mai necesita repozitoare terțe.
🔍 Clarificare importantă:
• Expirarea se aplică MPEG-4 Part 2 (fisierele vechi .avi, DivX, Xvid).
• NU se aplică formatului H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) sau altor tehnologii moderne utilizate în fișierele .mp4 actuale, care sunt încă protejate de brevete active.
Pentru utilizatorul obișnuit (care folosește deja player-e precum VLC sau FFmpeg) nimic nu se schimbă peste noapte, însă este o victorie uriașă pentru distribuția de software liber și arhivarea digitală! 🎬

😲 … 👀 at this essay from @jcolag@mastodon.social. John is doing something I really think that makes #FOSS great: exploring incomplete philosophical, political, and/or policy questions in public.
Strive to be comfortable with the stream of consciousness ramble and consider the ideas that John is exploring:
There are real insights about how errors in #SoftwareFreedom leadership left the #FreeCulture movement w/out its natural allies. Fascinating!
I look forward to next installment.

Most libraries let you suggest new books and takes 2 minutes!
Go and suggest Ada & Zangemann: A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream. A great way to explain kids who amazing is tinkering, to get others understand why #SoftwareFreedom matters and to start conversations in your community

Hola Málaga 🇪🇸
Since yesterday, we’ve been at @opensouthcode@floss.social talking about #SoftwareFreedom with the local community!
Today, the story of Ada and #Zangemann is part of the buzzing Kids Space 👾. It’s wonderful to see so many children and their parents tinkering, experimenting, and discovering the power of #FreeSoftware 💡
Thank you, @opensouthcode@floss.social, and everyone involved for making this such a great conference! ❤️

⚠️ The Free Software Foundation Europe deleted its account on X ⚠️
The platform never aligned with our values and no longer serves as a space for communication. What initially intended to be a place for dialogue and information exchange has turned into a centralised arena of hostility, misinformation, and profit-driven control, far removed from the ideals of freedom we stand for.
