<h1>Give the gift of freedom!</h1>
+<p><i>This is the 2017 Giving Guide. For more current recommendations for ethical gift-giving, please see the <a href="https://www.fsf.org/givingguide/v9/">2018 Ethical Tech Giving Guide</a>.</i></p>
<p>A new phone or computer can be the highlight of the holidays, but with proprietary software lurking under the wrapping paper, your thoughtful gift may be more naughty than nice.</p>
<p>This guide replaces these holiday humbugs with better devices from ethical companies—no <a href="https://gnu.org/proprietary" style="color: gold">creepy remote deletion of files or punitive and mean rules about copying and sharing</a>. Just products and software that respect the freedom and privacy of your loved ones: gifts you can feel good about.</p>
<p>Plus, our crib notes below will help you explain why this version is better than the one they've heard of (and spread the word about software freedom, too).</p>

<p> Your smartphone is so much more than a phone: it's a tiny computer you carry with you every day, and for many people around the world, it's their only internet-enabled device. Choosing one of these phones lets you bring software freedom everywhere you go.</p>
