From my role as a fixer of tax problems and disputes, it seems like a step in the wrong direction. (But probably good for future employment of tax problem solvers).

We don't buy Apple in my house either. Software freedom is the prerequisite for many of the issues people struggle with when it comes to technology, privacy breaches, user lock-in, DRM, and hardware obsolescence. The role of freedom in privacy cannot be ignored. Support #FreeSoftware https://fsf.org Do you have the passion and skill to be the next licensing and compliance manager for the FSF?

The fact that we're still going today [...] is proof he made a good choice. If KOReader had been proprietary, it may have been unnecessarily abandoned -- a fate that is all too common for similar projects. Read more: https://u.fsf.org/3zi We love free software.
