The Free Software ethical label
The FusionEcosystem LABEL is a quality label for Free Software projects.
The goal is to have rules that give to the community all information on the project.
It forces interaction between the project and the community (like feature requests, changelog, news…)
“In the world where many companies create Open-source tools but the project is closed,
I wanted to create this label for the community to quickly recognize if a project is designed for and with the community”
