SFP#33: Policy and EU: Coalition treaty in Germany and its role for Free Software

Recently, the German coalition treaty from the CDU/CSU and SPD has been published with over 140 pages. In our latest episode Alexander Sander and Bonnie Mehring talk about the coalition treaty and break down the standing of Free Software in it.

Listen to the 33rd episode of our Software Freedom Podcast and find out what the coalition treaty outlines for Free Software in Germany and where spillover effects to the EU policy are to be expected. Bonnie and Alex discuss where we, as a civil society, need to keep an eye out for threats to our software freedom, and what the options are for the Free Software ecosystem in the future. Together they also talk about the sudden decision to remove Jutta Horstmann, former CEO of the German Center for Digital Sovereignty (ZenDiS in German), from her position and cover the recent symposium "Public Money? Public Code! in practice”, organised by the FSFE.

This is the perfect episode for everybody who wants to learn more about the coalition treaty and its aspects on Free Software! Help us to protect software freedom by donating.
