Legal Support Activities
Kâr amacı gütmeyen, bir sivil toplum kuruluşu olarak Avrupa Özgür Yazılım Vakfı, Özgür Yazılım ve Açık Standartlara ilişkin genel bir kavrayış ve destek oluşturmak için çalışıyor. Aşağıdaki faaliyetler toplum bilinci, politika savunuculuğu ve hukuki destek alanlarında üstlendiğimiz somut eylemlerdir.
FSFE, 2001 yılında kurulduğundan beri, Özgür Yazılımı Avrupa ve ötesinde ilerletmek için her gün çalışıyor. Çalışmamızın üç direğine dayanan somut faaliyetlerimizle kullanıcı haklarını korumaya ve genişletmeye odaklandık. Bazı eylemlerimiz yıllar boyunca sürerken, bazıları daha kısa dönem gelişmelere odaklanıyor, ancak hepsi misyonumuzun bir parçası: kullanıcıları teknolojiyi denetlemek üzere güçlendirmek.
Çalışmamızın diğer önemli bir parçasını sürekli uğraş ve arka plan çalışması oluşturuyor. Her yıl düzinelerce konferansta yer alıyoruz, muhteşem bir topluluğu destekliyor ve sürdürüyoruz ve yararlı kaynaklar sağlıyoruz. Üstelik, yazılım özgürlüğü, Açık Standartlar, ve kullanıcı haklarına ilişkin tüm soruların ve araştırmaların öne çıkan bir irtibat noktasıyız. Ayrıca Özgür Yazılım hukuki ve lisans konularıyla ilgili temel eğitim kaynakları sunuyoruz.

REUSE Software
The FSFE is running a project to make licensing easy for humans and machines alike. It solves a fundamental issue that Free Software licensing has at the very source: what license is a file licensed under, and who owns the copyright? REUSE provides easy recommendations in three steps that help users, developers and legal professionals.

Fiduciary Programme
The Fiduciary License Agreement (FLA) allows software projects to assign copyrights to a named fiduciary for its effective management. This allows developers to focus on development rather than spending time on legal administration. While the FSFE is no longer accepting new projects under the Fiduciary Programme, we continue to offer customisable versions of the FLA) for your use.
Software Patents in Europe
We are working towards a world where software does what software users want it to do. For this, software users must be able to participate in the development and distribution of the software. Software patents block this goal by adding legal and financial risks to software development and distribution and by giving the patent holders legal power to completely prohibit software developers from using the patented ideas.
Microsoft vs. EU Antitrust CaseTamamlandı
In 2001 the European Union started investigating Microsoft's dominant position in the market for desktop operating systems. The FSFE represented the interests of Free Software developer as a public interest organisation who cannot be bought off. Thanks to the excellent work by all involved parties, the case was won in all rulings up to the European Court of Justice in 2012.
EURA Slovakia caseTamamlandı
The Slovak company EURA faced fines of 5600 euros for not purchasing and use Microsoft Windows operating system for submitting electronic tax reports. The Slovak tax administration gave EURA the option to either buy and use Microsoft Windows or face the fines. The FSFE assisted in this case advocating for platform-neutral solutions for such procedures. Unfortunately, the court ruled against Free Software and Open Standards, but we were able to raise awareness about these wrongdoings in Slovakia and beyond.
AVM GPL violationTamamlandı
Can a company modify GPL-licensed software on a third-party device? Router manufacturer AVM accused Cybits of copyright and trademark infringement for modifying the original router firmware, which is largely based on the Linux kernel. Together with gpl-violations.org, we successfully convinced the court that the terms of the GPL licence are binding: software under this licence can be freely modified and installed, even if it is supplied as part of the firmware of an embedded device.
MS-OOXMLTamamlandı
Since the beginning of the standardisation process for Microsoft's Office Open XML - OOXML (hereafter MS-OOXML), the FSFE has raised serious doubts about whether MS-OOXML can be considered open. FSFE was the first to raise the issue in the community, led the movement against the standardisation of MS-OOXML, and has been closely following developments over the years.
GPLv3Tamamlandı
The release of version 3 of the GNU General Public License (GPL) on 29 June 2007 marked the end of an eighteen-month public consultation process. During this time, the FSFE worked to raise awareness of the proposed changes to the licence, to help the community participate in the public consultation, and to document the ongoing discussion to make this issue as accessible as possible.
AGNULA: A GNU/Linux Audio distributionTamamlandı
The AGNULA project aimed to create a fully functional, completely Free Software GNU/Linux distribution for professional audio users. Run by key players in the audio community, and funded by the European Commission, the FSFE was a partner in the project, taking care of the legal issues, its long-term aspects, and making sure that the interests of the Free Software community were heard.
