A community for the discussion of software patents. End Software Patents (ESP) is a global initiative of the Free Software Foundation. We believe that software patents constitute a threat to developer freedom.

I was an FSF intern who worked on overhauling the ESP campaign. The project was successful and I now contribute as an admin.

Software patents are a particularly complex legal topic. I created this community hoping that it will bring people’s attention back to this issue, so feel free to post there anything related to software patents. You can also join our IRC channel at #endsoftwarepatents on Libera.Chat!
