<h2>Free Software, Free Society</h2>
<h2>Introduction to Free Software</h2>
<p id="introduction">
Free in Free Software is referring to freedom, not price. More
precisely, it is about the four freedoms to <a
href="/freesoftware/basics/4freedoms.en.html">use, study, share
and improve</a> software.
Free Software is all about freedom and community. These sections introduce the role of Free Software in key areas of society. At the end of each section you'll find more information about what the Free Software Foundation Europe is doing in that field, and how you can help.
</p>
<p>
The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) was founded in 2001 as
the sister organisation of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) in
the USA to take care of all aspects of <a
href="freesoftware.html">Free Software</a> in Europe.
</p>
<p>
You'll find in this section basic information on Free Software,
its history, its current relevance for our society, our economy
and our educational system, but also some information on the legal
aspects of Free software and much more.
