I would say that FSF is prominent in promotion of free software and users' freedom. I would not say it is "authority on user freedom". As the FSF does not have the powers or rights to give orders or make decisions on user freedom. Maybe it is better to say that it is authority on fostering free software or authority in fostering users' rights. Something like that. > The only relevant organizations that i am aware of for this are: > - OSHW who are seemingly not aligned with FSF values BTW, it does not need to be.

Your reference to "Router Freedom" is not in the context of free hardware design. It is in the context of Internet providers that will give the Internet access to user under condition that only their suggested router is used. That is quite different issue and it is not relevant to free hardware designs. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
