AGNULA

Freedom in Multimedia

Multimedia in general and audio in particular were areas dominated almost exclusively by proprietary software. Within the "A GNU/Linux Audio distribution" (AGNULA) project, a group of European universities, companies and organisations — among them the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) — set out to change this in 2001.

Version 1.0 of AGNULA was finally released in early 2004.

AGNULA managed to be accepted as European Commission project IST-2001-34879 and was funded from April 1st, 2002 until March 31st, 2004. The project was coordinated by Nicola Bernardini from Centro Tempo Reale, Florence, Italy.

FSFE Contributions

One seminal role of the FSFE inside the AGNULA EU project was to take care of the legal issues, decide upon acceptable licensing policies and care about legal maintainability. Other tasks were making sure that Free Software community interests are heard, helping that information is provided in the best possible way and work on the dissemination of the final results:
