<!-- Start FSF Europe specific information -->
|
||||
<p>Multimedia in general and audio in particular were areas dominated
|
||||
almost exclusively by proprietary software. Within the "A GNU/Linux
|
||||
Audio distribution" (AGNULA) project, a group of European
|
||||
universities, companies and organizations -- among them the <a
|
||||
href="/index.html">Free Software Foundation Europe</a> (FSFE) -- set
|
||||
out to change this in 2001.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>One seminal role of the FSF Europe inside AGNULA is to take care of
|
||||
the legal issues, decide upon acceptable licensing policies and care
|
||||
about legal maintainability. Other tasks are making sure that Free
|
||||
Software community interests are heard, helping that information is
|
||||
provided in the best possible way and work on the dissemination of the
|
||||
final results.</p>
|
||||
<p>Version 1.0 of AGNULA was finally released in early 2004.</p>

<p><img src="ist_logo.png" border="0" align="right" /> AGNULA managed
|
||||
to be accepted as European Commission project IST-2001-34879 and was
|
||||
funded from April 1st, 2002 until March 31st, 2004. The project was
|
||||
coordinated by Nicola Bernardini from Centro Tempo Reale, Florence,
|
||||
Italy.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The project was finished to the full satisfaction of the European
|
||||
Commission and you can read the final article about AGNULA on the IST

<p>The current biggest problem is still the Java dependency of the
