*A note about the FTC docket website Unfortunately, the FTC’s website requires nonfree JavaScript (reCAPTCHA, specifically) to comment on a document, and the FTC has declined repeated requests for instructions for how to submit comments by paper form. If you’re not in the habit of avoiding nonfree JavaScript for the sake of your freedom, which we recommend, you can also leave comments on the FTC’s website. While you’re there, let webmaster@ftc.gov know about the injustice of proprietary JavaScript and encourage them to respect the freedom of their users.
If you would like to join us in reaching out to the FTC to request comments be accepted in ways that do not require running nonfree JavaScript, please consider contacting their office by mail and/or phone:
Federal Trade Commission 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20580 Telephone: (202) 326-2222 The deadline to submit is June 21, which is just enough time to publish something meaningful on the topic in support of free software.
