The annual "I Love Free Software Day" celebration, on 14 February, acknowledges all Free Software contributors for their commitment to the four freedoms (to use, study, share and improve Free Software). The Free Software contributors’ dedication is amazing and safeguards our software freedom. We want to thank all of you for work to Free Software <3

In 2025 we remained engaged in enforcing the DMA, intervening in the Apple vs EC legal case; we participated in the debates around the CRA and public procurement to ensure that Free Software is embedded in Europe’s digital future. Also, we continued providing legal support and improved REUSE, while involving teenagers with YH4F, and we reached new audiences with the new Ada & Zangemann movies.

En 2025 se cumple un año de la entrada en vigor de la Ley de Mercados Digitales. En nuestra contribución a la consulta pública de la Comisión Europea, valoramos la DMA como un hito en la regulación de las grandes empresas tecnológicas, pero subrayamos los obstáculos y desafíos para hacer realidad la neutralidad de los dispositivos.

El Software Libre y la FSFE son para mí: compartir, aprender, ser independiente de los monopolios, producir cosas juntos, pasión y ¡libertad! Desde que me he hecho «Fellow», estoy encontrando nuevos amigos que me ayudan con el Software Libre y otros temas, enseñándome cosas nuevas cada día incluso aunque estemos separados por kilómetros. ¡Es magnífico estar en una comunidad que continuamente apoya mi pasión y motivación por el Software Libre!
When I read the term "Intellectual Property" I always suspected it to be a "contradictio in adiecto", because only something physical can be possessed, intellectual ideas can not. To get the best benefit out of ideas for all, they should be spread as wide as possible and with as few restrictions as possible. The GNU General Public License seems to be a good example for such little restriction, especially the inheritance principle prevents possible misuse of the idea about Free Software. Following these ideas in an ethical way, for me the FSFE seems to be the very best NGO to be found. And so I support them. And I only found kind people here.
I love Free Software because it empowers me to do unconventional and innovative things. It allows me to be independent from any single entity, fosters a culture of transparency, deepens my understanding of the tools I use, and helps build a trusting community. I want the next one to have the same freedoms I enjoy and to break the chain of proprietary, unjust software. This is why I support FSFE and proudly advocate for Free Software.
