Become an FSFE supporter today so we reach our long term vision that:

  • Everyone has the right to remove and install any software on any of their devices!
  • All public funding for software is used for Free Software only!
  • All regulatory frameworks encourage the use and development of Free Software.
  • Licensing and legal decisions are based on facts, rather than fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
  • Young people have the opportunity to tinker, experiment and code with Free Software as the default.

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...

Opening the cage: the FSFE flies away from X (Twitter)

News

The Free Software Foundation Europe deleted its account on X. The platform never aligned with our values and no longer serves as a space for communication. What initially intended to be a place for dialogue and information exchange has turned into a centralised arena of hostility, misinformation, and profit-driven control, far removed from the ideals of freedom we stand for.

Germany Stack: Only Free Software Enables Digital Sovereignty

News

The “Germany Stack” is a central digital-policy project of the German federal government. The FSFE calls for the Stack to be planned in close coordination with European partners and to be implemented entirely as Free Software, since only the four freedoms enable digital sovereignty.

Nëse software-i licencohet si software i lirë, mundemi ta inspektojmë, dhe të sigurohemi kështu që bën atë çka pritet të bëjë (dhe asgjë tjetër). Institucionet publike zhvillojnë software, dhe punësojnë kompani për këtë, ndërsa qytetarët do të duhej ta kenë pronë dhe ta ripërdorin gjithë kodin e tyre. Jap ndihmesë në software-in e lirë përmes përkthimesh, asistencë për përdoruesit, gjetje alternativash software-i të lirë në universitety... por nuk mbërrij dot te hartuesit e politikave, as te njerëz dhe institucione në vende të tjera.

I believe that Free Software can help us change our society fundamentally for the better and I believe the best way to do so is together with other volunteers from all over Europe!

Alexandra Busch (IT specialist)

Liria është një nga vlerat bazë të Shoqërisë sonë dhe një nga konceptet bazë të demokracisë. Përkrahja dhe përhapja e Software-it të Lirë është një rrugë për të ndërtuar alternativa përfshirjeje sociale dhe për mbrojtjen e shtetasve tanë nga shfrytëzimi dixhital. Kemi përgjegjësinë e ngritjes së një bote më të mirë, si dhuratë nga ne për brezat tanë të ardhshëm.
