Learn about the Free Software Foundation Europe's legal battle against Apple and the broader concept of Device Neutrality in this 35-minute conference talk from DevConf.CZ 2025. Discover how smartphones, tablets, laptops, and connected devices function as general-purpose computers that should allow users to run any software, including Free Software, without manufacturer restrictions. Explore the FSFE's litigation strategy against Apple's monopolistic practices that lock users into unfair terms and restrict software freedom. Understand how Apple's dominance over devices and software distribution creates barriers for Free Software developers and threatens digital democracy, competition, and the open internet. Examine the legal and technical arguments for Device Neutrality as a fundamental principle that prevents manufacturers from imposing restrictive barriers on software access and distribution, ultimately protecting users' rights to control their own computing devices.
