      About FSFE

      Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to
      control technology. Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our
      lives; and it is important that this technology empowers rather than
      restricts us. Free Software gives everybody the rights to use, understand,
      adapt and share software. These rights help support other fundamental
      freedoms like freedom of speech, press and privacy.

      The FSFE helps individuals and organisations to understand how Free
      Software contributes to freedom, transparency, and self-determination.  It
      enhances users' rights by abolishing barriers to Free Software adoption,
      encourage people to use and develop Free Software, and provide resources to
      enable everyone to further promote Free Software in Europe.

      About the Freedom Task Force

      The Freedom Task Force is an activity run by Free Software Foundation 
      Europe to help people understand Free Software licensing and the 
      opportunities it presents. We offer educational services, facilitate 
      larger infrastructure activities and manage FSFE's legal affairs. 
      Our goals are to share knowledge about Free Software law, to 
      safeguard the interests of Free Software projects, to connect 
      experts in this field and to help other groups achieve similar goals.
      We believe in positive, constructive dialogue and seek at all times 
      to support the long-term sustainability of Free Software.
