<h1>Let's get rid of non-free PDF advertisement</h1>
|
||
|
||
<p class="background">What would you think about a sign on the highway
|
||
saying “You need a Volkswagen to drive on this road. Contact your
|
||
Volkswagen dealer for a gratis test drive – Your Government”?</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Situation</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>When it comes to software that opens PDF files, many public sector
|
||
organisations do this every day. With the pdfreaders.org campaign we have
|
||
turned the spotlight on government organisations who behave this way,
|
||
exposing how frequent such advertisements for non-free software are. With
|
||
the help of activists across Europe, we are contacting these organisations
|
||
and explain them how to improve their websites so that they respect our
|
||
freedom.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>PDFreaders.org</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>First FSFE's volunteers created pdfreaders.org. All of the PDF readers on
|
||
pdfreaders.org are Free Software, respecting your basic four freedoms to
|
||
use, study, share and improve them. This gives you control over your
|
||
computer and helps protect your privacy.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Contacting public bodies</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>With the help of our Fellows and of hundreds other Free Software
|
||
activists, we have collected over 2000 bug reports (l.fsfe.org/pdfrb). FSFE has sent a letter
|
||
to all the public administrations on our list asking them to either remove
|
||
their advertising for proprietary software or at least run equal
|
||
advertising for Free Software, so that users of their websites realise that
|
||
they have a choice. Currently more than 550 public bodies changed their
|
||
websites accordingly.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Petition to remove advertisement for non-free software</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Our "Petition For The Removal Of Proprietary Software Advertising On
|
||
Public Institution Websites" was signed by over 90 organisations, 60
|
||
businesses and 2690 individuals. You can see the list of the signatories at
|
||
l.fsfe.org/pdfrp!</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>What we want to do</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>We will maintain pdfreaders.org. We will continue to contact the remaining
|
||
organisations, and remind them to fix their bugs. Therefore, we will continue to
|
||
improve our documentation how to contact public bodies, as well as
|
||
information how to contact companies.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Contact institutions on your own</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>If you discover a page of a public institution or administration that
|
||
advertises non-free software and is not yet or does not appear as resolved on
|
||
the list, do not hesitate to contact them on your own (http://l.fsfe.org/pdfrf). For this
|
||
purpose you can use our model letter (http://l.fsfe.org/pdfrl): just change the address, the
|
||
URL, and the name. Then send it out per mail or post.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Inform us about the institutions you are contacting, and the progress
|
||
you are making. We will publish the positive results alongside with the
|
||
other reported institutions.</p>
