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)

Eu juntei-me à FSFE porque tenho visto mais e mais que escrever Software Livre, em última análise, não é o suficiente para nutir uma cultura onde o Software Livre é visto como uma parte integral da sociedade. O Software Livre não devia ser um tópico de nicho, apoiado apenas por geeks.
