About

FSFE's mission

Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives. It is important that this technology empowers rather than restricts us. Free Software gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share software. These rights help support other fundamental rights like freedom of speech, freedom of press, and privacy.

Free Software Foundation Europe:

• helps individuals and organisations to understand how Free Software contributes to freedom, transparency, and self-determination.
• enhances users' rights by abolishing barriers to Free Software adoption.
• encourages people to use and develop Free Software.
• provides resources to enable everyone to further promote Free Software in Europe.
