Free Software Foundation Europe

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...

Yearly Report +++ DMA turns one +++ Legal Corner

Newsletter

Our October newsletter comes with our Software Freedom in Europe report! As the DMA celebrates its first year, we reflect on Device Neutrality and discuss the war on ad blockers in our Legal Corner. Check out our interview about 'I Love Free Software Day' with our local group in Barcelona and listen to a new episode of our Policy & EU podcast series. 

To postcards hold by one hand. On the postcards it is written   'Thank you: for your contribution to software freedom!'

How we celebrate "I Love Free Software Day" in Barcelona, Spain

Community

The annual "I Love Free Software Day" celebration, on 14 February, acknowledges all Free Software contributors for their commitment to the four freedoms (to use, study, share and improve Free Software). The Free Software contributors’ dedication is amazing and safeguards our software freedom. We want to thank all of you for work to Free Software <3

A collage of circular images: a crowd at an FSFE event, a projection screen showing the FSFE material, an auditorium with a slide depicting people using devices, a green badge with a bird escaping a cage and the words “set your devices free” (device neutrality sticker), a white router icon, and an illustrated young person wearing a backpack and coding on a laptop. The FSFE star logo appears at the lower right.

Software Freedom in Europe 2025

press

In 2025 we remained engaged in enforcing the DMA, intervening in the Apple vs EC legal case; we participated in the debates around the CRA and public procurement to ensure that Free Software is embedded in Europe’s digital future. Also, we continued providing legal support and improved REUSE, while involving teenagers with YH4F, and we reached new audiences with the new Ada & Zangemann movies.

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.
