Fri som i frihet
Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) er en idéell, og i enkelte land veldedig, organisasjon tilegnet fri programvare. FSFE mener at frihetene til å bruke, studere, dele og forbedre programvare er kritiske for å oppnå likeverdig deltagelse i informasjonsalderen. Vi arbeider for å skape forståelse og støtte for programvarefrihet innen politikk, juss, og samfunnet ellers. Vi fremmer også utvikling, som for eksempel av GNU/Linux-operativsystemet, som gir disse frihetene til alle deltagere i det digitale samfunnet.
FSFEs arbeide er gjort mulig takket være mange individuelle bidrag, særlig til Fellowship of FSFE. Én måte å bidra på er å bli medlem nå, samt å oppfordre andre til å gjøre det samme.
