We are Free Software Practitioners and offer commercial services in a solid legal framework. The ethics that are fundamental to Free Software, are also the core of our business conduct.
Decentralization, Peer-to-Peer, Distribution and Confederation are ingrained into Free Software Design and considered best practice for users to exercise their freedom.
With Free Software, users control their computer instead of being controlled by their computer.
In the same way we envision Free Business as a distributed federation of individual professionals, who cooperate peer-to-peer to fulfill well-defined commercial services.
In a Free Business, professionals run their own business instead of being run by a business.
LibrePractice.org is a Free Business Platform for independent professionals who make a living off Free Software and Hardware Services. Datraverse B.V. is the initiating practitioner and offers a Libre Business Model by Example. Please contact this practice for more information: you are most welcome to join.
