The FSF also helps to spread awareness of the ethical and political issues of software freedom.</p> <p>Like GNU, the FSF also gets a lot of its strength from volunteers. It's a great place to volunteer and a great community to join, especially if you don't have the technical background to contribute directly to free software development.
