FSF Europe condemns Apple's DMA noncompliance

The Free Software Foundation Europe has

submitted a joint position to the European Commission (EC), claiming that Apple
has failed to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA). This is the law
that requires Apple to support alternative application stores on the devices it
makes.

Apple's unfair behaviour against Free Software highlights the critical need to
monitor the implementation of the DMA. The FSFE collaborated with F-Droid, the
AppFair project, and other interoperability experts to scrutinize Apple's DMA
compliance, and it's impact on Free Software. Since then, we coordinated several
expert workshops with stakeholders,

discussed with regulators in FOSDEM, had

official meetings with the EC's DMA team, and submitted a

comprehensive position
to the EC detailing several problematic elements in the Apple compliance that
will harm the Free Software.
