<h4>Why free software matters to Spruce</h4>
<p>The global adoption of digital identity is only accelerating as our interactions increasingly rely on software. At Spruce, we care deeply about ensuring that users have control over their own data amidst this transition by building open source tools built on open standards. We believe that free software is the only practical way to give people the transparency they deserve, especially for the systems that handle their most critical data. Free software is the only practical way to simultaneously maintain a high degree of security (with many eyes making all bugs shallow), enable global collaboration, and unlock unbounded innovation through the ultimate open interface of being able to examine, modify, and redistribute source code. Spruce is a proud sponsor of LibrePlanet, and we are grateful for the opportunity to contribute.</p>
