SFC: John Deere's ongoing GPL violations: What's next
The Software Freedom Conservancy callsout John Deere for failure to comply with the GPL and preventingfarmers from repairing their own equipment.
This is a serious issue that goes far beyond one person wanting to fix their printer software, or install an alternative firmware on a luxury device. It has far-reaching implications for all farmers' livelihoods, for food security throughout the world, and for how we as a society choose to reward those who make our lives better, or stand in the way of empowering everyone to improve the world.
