Software Freedom Conservancy is a nonprofit organization centered around ethical technology. Our mission is to ensure the right to repair, improve and reinstall software. We promote and defend these rights through fostering free and open source software (FOSS) projects, driving initiatives that actively make technology more inclusive, and advancing policy strategies that defend FOSS (such as copyleft).

Today is an excellent day to give up GitHub, particularly given their disingenuous position regarding the California Artificial Intelligence Transparency Act & its proposed amendments under CA SB 1000.

In May, Software Freedom Conservancy announced a comprehensive response to Bambu Lab's AGPL violations. This included a fundraiser to support specific Right to Repair work that would help protect the rights enshrined in copyleft in the 3D printing community. A few days remain in the fundraiser, yet we happily announce that we've already hit our goal of raising US$250,007! Thanks to everyone who has supported us during this fundraiser. This success highlights that our community understands how critical copylefted firmware and software is for 3D printers (and elsewhere).
