[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.
