Libre de Libertad
La Fundación para el Software Libre en Europa (FSFE) es una organización sin ánimo de lucro y, en algunos países, una organización benéfica dedicada al Software Libre. La FSFE sostiene que las libertades de usar, estudiar, compartir y mejorar el software son fundamentales para garantizar la igualdad de participación en la era de la información. Trabajamos para crear comprensión general y apoyo a la libertad del software en la política, el derecho y la sociedad en general. También promovemos el desarrollo de tecnologías como el sistema operativo GNU/Linux, que proporciona estas libertades a todos los participantes en la sociedad digital.
El trabajo de la FSFE es posible gracias a muchas contribuciones individuales, en particular las de la Fellowship de la FSFE. Uno de los métodos para contribuir es unirse ahora y animar a otros a hacer lo mismo.
