Let $S$ be a finite subset of the Riemann sphere. It is an immediate consequence of the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence that the differential Galois group of the family of all regular singular differential equations with singularities inside $S$ is the proalgebraic completion of the free group on $|S|-1$ generators . In this talk we will discuss generalizations of this statement to infinite $S$. In particular, we will determine the differential Galois group of the family of all regular singular differential equations on the Riemann sphere.
