Proprietary Vendors Don’t Help Disabled, Says FSF
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has criticised proprietary software makers for not doing enough for physically impaired users, and has appointed an executive to make sure the GNU Project - which developes free software - does better.
The FSF claims that proprietary software companies are fundamentally limited when it comes to serving the needs of disabled users.
Free software can do more for disabled software users, according to Chris Hofstader, the new director of access technology software for the GNU Project. “The FSF has led the software world to an understanding of the importance of computer user freedom, but there is still much more to do to achieve accessibility for people with disability in free software”.
