Το Ίδρυμα Ελεύθερου Λογισμικού Ευρώπης είναι μη κερδοσκοπική οργάνωση που δίνει δύναμη στους χρήστες να ελέγχουν την τεχνολογία.

Το λογισμικό σχετίζεται βαθιά με όλες τις διαστάσεις της ζωής μας. Το Ελεύθερο Λογισμικό δίνει σε όλους το δικαίωμα να χρησιμοποιούν, κατανοούν, προσαρμόζουν και να μοιράζουν λογισμικό. Αυτά τα δικαιώματα βοηθούν στην υποστήριξη άλλων θεμελιωδών δικαιωμάτων, όπως η ελευθερία του λόγου, η ελευθερία του τύπου και η ιδιωτικότητα. Μάθετε περισσότερα...

Legal Corner: The threshold of originality for copyrightable source code

Community

As a general rule, software source code is protected by copyright by default. Copyright holders create Free Software by applying a Free Software license to their code. Creative works, such as source code, nevertheless must be sufficiently original in nature before they can be protected by copyright. Exactly what is this “threshold of originality”, and are there types of code that are not automatically protected by copyright?

I believe Free Software needs a voice at the national as well as the EU level in politics: Software does not exist in an isolated bubble, it's heavily dependent on the ecosystem that it lives in. In my opinion Free Software as well as open standards are key to creating a society that provides equal access.

Isabel Drost-Fromm (Software Engineer and Member of the Apache Software Foundation)

I'm a supporter of the FSFE as I want to sustain their work to promote Free Software. As a person that uses computers quite heavily every day, I'm very concerned with the current trend of locking down computing which is taking control away from the users. This is increasingly problematic since people's lives are more and more dependent on computers for personal communications, managing finances, employment, etc. Free Software is a necessary requirement for retaining control over your computing.

Mats Sjöberg (Machine learning specialist)

Think about these claims:
"It's better if we control how you may or may not use your tools."
"It's better if you don't know how your tools work."
"It's better if we forbid you to share your tools."
"It's better if you are not allowed to improve your tools."
If you find those as absurd as I do, you understand why I'm a Free Software activist.
