Activités de Plaidoyer Politique
Depuis sa fondation en 2001, la FSFE travaille chaque jour pour faire avancer la promotions du logiciel libre en Europe et au-delà. Avec nos activités concrètes, basées sur les trois pilliers de notre travail nous nous concentrons sur la protection et l’élargissement des droits des utilisateurs. Certaines de nos actions s’étendent sur de nombreuses années tandis que d’autres visent des effets à court terme, mais toutes font partie de notre mission : donner aux utilisateurs le pouvoir de contrôler la technologie.
Une autre partie importante de notre travail consiste en un engagement continu et un travail de fond. Nous sommes présents à des dizaines de conférences par an, soutenons et maintenons une communautée extraordinaire en leurs fournissant des ressources utiles. En outre, nous sommes un point de contact privilégié pour toutes les questions et les demandes concernant la liberté logicielle et les droits des utilisateurs.
Nous avons besoin d’un changement politique pour renforcer le Logiciel Libre. Découvrez comment nous y parvenons.

DMA: Apple Litigation
The FSFE is intervening to safeguard Free Software in a key court case involving Apple and the European Commission. Apple is trying to avoid obligations derived from the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The FSFE seeks to hold Apple accountable under the DMA in a developer-friendly way.

Device Neutrality
Although digital devices are ubiquitous today, the number of devices on which users cannot run Free Software is exponentially increasing. The consequence is an increased loss of control over users’ technology. Device Neutrality aims to enable end-users to bypass gatekeepers to have a non-discriminatory use of Free Software on their devices.

Digital Markets Act
Device Neutrality is the policy concept to regulate monopoly over devices and re-establish end-user control over their digital equipment. The Digital Markets Act (DMA) regulates the economic activity of large digital platforms and introduces Device Neutrality in the EU legislation, fostering access to Free Sofware in Devices.

Router Freedom
Although we should be free to choose the technical devices we use in our private lives, some European Internet Service Providers are dictating which device their customers have to use to connect to the Internet, or discriminating against owners of alternative devices. This undermines our basic freedom of choice.

Free Your Android
Android is a mostly free operating system but unfortunately the drivers for most devices and most applications in the built-in store are not Free Software. This initiative helps you to regain control of your Android device and your data.

Refund4Freedom
When acquiring a new laptop you often end up dealing with an imposed pre-installed Microsoft Windows operating system. This is unfair. The Refund4Freedom initiative guides users in how to get their money back in these cases and demands the end of this practice that limits user freedom.
