Free Software Foundation Europe
Free as in Freedom
Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is a non-profit and in some
countries charitable organisation dedicated to
Free Software. FSFE maintains
that the freedoms to use, study, share and improve software are critical
to ensure equal participation in the information age. We work to create
general understanding and support for software freedom in politics, law
and society-at-large. We also promote the development of technologies,
such as the GNU/Linux operating system, that deliver these freedoms to
all participants in digital society.
FSFE's work is made possible by many individual contributions, in
particular to the
Fellowship of FSFE. One way to
contribute is to
join now, and to
encourage others to do likewise.
