Software ist in allen Aspekten unseres Lebens tief verankert. Freie Software gibt allen das Recht, Programme für jeden Zweck zu verwenden, zu verstehen, zu verbreiten und zu verbessern.

Software is becoming more and more a fabric which permeates our society. We are more and more unaware of the ways in which it influences, sometimes forces our decisions. That's why software freedom concerns fundamentally and very concretely our society. That's why I am convinced that groups like the FSFE are vital for the evolution of a free society.

Tomás Zerolo (Self-employed IT specialist)

In a world where software influences virtually every single aspect of our lives, Free Software is a precondition for a free society.

Reinhard Müller (Software Developer)

I became a supporter of the FSFE because I'm seeing more and more that writing free code is ultimately not enough to foster a culture where Free Software is seen as an integral part of society. Free software should not be a fringe topic supported solely by geeks.

Johannes Zarl-Zierl (IT Professional)
