Free Software Foundation Europa
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.
FSFE is proud to welcome the release of a new educational document
on Free Software licensing. Developed by delegates of the European
Legal Network, the document helps software developers and lawyers
by making it easier to decide under which licenses they can
distribute their work.
For Rogall-Grothe a valid technological standard must first be fully publicized, secondly be unrescritively and consistently used, and thirdly not be subjected to any legal restrictions. "The German government has clearly stated that a technical standard will only be recognised if it can be implemented by all organisations, including Free Software companies and developers", says Matthias Kirschner, German Coordinator at the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE).
La presente edición cubre la declaración de Neelie Kroes sobre los estándares abiertos, la disputa a cerca del Software Libre en Sajonia (Alemania) y el cambio de licencia de WebM que se vuelve compatible con la GPL ; por fin, les pedimos que se queden en contacto con los políticos sobre los tópicos del Software Libre.
On 25 May 2010 the regional government authority of
Bolzano decided to spend 2.2 million EUR over the next three years to
renew software licenses from Microsoft Ireland, and to buy additional
licenses. All this was done without a public call for tender, making it
impossible for competing suppliers of similar software to make offers of
their own.
May was quite busy, for the first time we
participated in a big church event to inform visitors about Free
Software. We analysed the European Commission's Digital Agenda, and
there was news about free video formats.
