+# Will you help us save WiFi ?
+
+For as long as the libreCMC and LibreWRT projects have existed, their core focus has been to
+bring Free Software to embedded devices, some of which have WiFi chipsets. While the project(s)
+core goals have not changed very much over the last few years, the landscape of WiFi enabled devices
+has exploded. Many of the radios in these devices went from being single-purpose radios that can only
+operate within certain ranges to modifiable SDRs that can be changed. While having the freedom to change
+one's own hardware is important, it is also important to operate radio equipment within regulatory laws.
+
+Since a few individuals have operated devices outside of regulations, the FCC and other regulatory bodies are proposing tighter
+restrictions on hardware that has WiFi or SDRs. These new restrictions would include a full lockout of third-party software
+and prevent users from updating or running new software on hardware they own. With these new digital locks, hardware vendors
+will exercise control over the user by preventing new innovative functionality or even preventing users from applying critical security patches.
+
+These new regulations won't work the way they are intended to and they should not be required. Users with the technical knowledge
+will still be able to get around the restrictions and load their own software. Most free software projects
+already put safeguards in place so that users can't accidentally violate regulatory rules that apply to their WiFi or SDR devices, unless
+they choose to remove them on purpose. Instead of punishing everyone in the Free Software community for the actions of a few, individuals
+who operate devices outside of regulations should be fined instead of taking away everyone's freedom.
+
+The libreCMC project and other members of the Free Software community would like to ask everyone to send a comment
+to the FCC about these new proposals and why they won't help fix the misuse of WiFi or SDRs. More information
+about this issue and how to submit comments can be found at [SaveWiFi.org](http://savewifi.org).
