<h1>Portuguese National Association for Free Software becomes associate
|
|
of the Free Software Foundation Europe</h1>

<p>
|
|
The FSF Europe gladly announces that the Portuguese "Associação
|
|
Nacional para o Software Livre" (ANSOL) is now an associate
|
|
organisation of the Free Software Foundation Europe.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
ANSOL has joined the FSF Europe to actively support its activities and
|
|
work for free software in Europe and to facilitate cooperation with
|
|
organisations in other Portuguese-speaking countries.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The first important task ANSOL is currently working on is the study of
|
|
the <a href="/activities/eucd/eucd-fs.html">implications for free software
|
|
of the European Union Copyright Directive</a> and other European and
|
|
national legislation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
"This collaboration is a very important step for the Portuguese and
|
|
European free software community. Problems faced by the free software
|
|
community in Portugal are similar to those faced in other European
|
|
countries; by joining forces with FSFE we can solve this problems more
|
|
efficiently" said Jaime Villate, founding member of ANSOL.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
"Creating an associated organisation is usually the first important step
|
|
to bring the FSF Europe to another country," says Georg Greve, President
|
|
of Free Software Foundation Europe. "We are glad that people in Portugal
|
|
wish to become part of our vision for a Europe united in Free Software."

<h3>About the Free Software Foundation Europe:</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSF Europe) is a charitable
|
|
non-governmental organisation dedicated to all aspects of Free Software
|
|
in Europe. Access to software determines who may participate in a
|
|
digital society. Therefore the freedoms to use, copy, modify and
|
|
redistribute software - as described in the Free Software definition -
|
|
allow equal participation in the information age. Creating awareness for
|
|
these issues, securing Free Software politically and legally, and giving
|
|
people freedom by supporting development of Free Software are central
|
|
issues of the FSF Europe, which was founded in 2001 as the European
|
|
sister organisation of the Free Software Foundation in the United
|
|
States.
