Free as in Freedom to Enjoy Single Sign-On Implemented using Free Software (CAS)
I discovered today that the Free Software Foundation is using CAS server software to accomplish single sign-on amongst web applications available to FSF members and guests. This made my day.
I am elated that a free software project I have touched could be providing value to an organization that has done so much to advance the free software movement and understanding of the essential freedoms protected by free software .
I'm proud to support the Free Software Foundation as associate member #5429, and pleased that beyond the support of my membership, the FSF may be benefiting by my work with the Jasig CAS single sign-on software.
