Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to control technology.
Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives. Free Software gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share software. These rights help support other fundamental rights like freedom of speech, freedom of press, and privacy. Learn more...

Last month we published a new article in our Legal Corner, we checked how the German government is doing after 100 days, and we provided a deeper look at the CRA on our podcast. We also attended several conferences and continue working on making gatekeepers accountable under the DMA.

Every year "I Love Free Software Day" is celebrated, where we thank all Free Software contributors for their commitment to use, study, share and improve Free Software. Without them there is no software freedom. We want to thank them all for contributing to Free Software <3

What happens when those who benefit from the four freedoms fail to comply with the terms of a Free Software license? Today we take a look at the experience of license enforcement by one of our FSFE volunteers against the fintech company SumUp, and examine the lessons that supporters of Free Software can take away from it.

Свободные программы для меня — это распространение, изучение, независимость от монополий, совместное созидание, страсть и свобода! С тех пор, как я — член Содружества, я нахожу новых друзей, которые помогают мне со свободными программами и в других областях, каждый день я узнаю что-то новое, даже если нас разделяют километры. Это восхитительно — быть в сообществе, которое поддерживает мою заинтересованность и любовь к свободным программам!
When I read the term "Intellectual Property" I always suspected it to be a "contradictio in adiecto", because only something physical can be possessed, intellectual ideas can not. To get the best benefit out of ideas for all, they should be spread as wide as possible and with as few restrictions as possible. The GNU General Public License seems to be a good example for such little restriction, especially the inheritance principle prevents possible misuse of the idea about Free Software. Following these ideas in an ethical way, for me the FSFE seems to be the very best NGO to be found. And so I support them. And I only found kind people here.
I love Free Software because it empowers me to do unconventional and innovative things. It allows me to be independent from any single entity, fosters a culture of transparency, deepens my understanding of the tools I use, and helps build a trusting community. I want the next one to have the same freedoms I enjoy and to break the chain of proprietary, unjust software. This is why I support FSFE and proudly advocate for Free Software.
