|
As a non-profit, non-governmental organisation, Free Software
|
|
Foundation Europe works to create general understanding and
|
|
support for Free Software and Open Standards in politics,
|
|
business, law and society at large.
|

Please read on to learn more about our work and our ongoing <a

<h3><a href="/activities/ftf/ftf.html">Legal</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
In our legal team, we collect and share knowledge about
|
|
legal and licensing aspects of Free Software, safeguard the
|
|
interests of Free Software projects, connect experts
|
|
throughout the world and help other groups achieve similar
|
|
goals. We provide
|
|
assistance, <a href="/activities/ftf/education.html">training</a>
|
|
and <a href="/activities/ftf/documentation.html">documentation</a>,
|
|
in partnership with gpl-violations.org and members of the
|
|
European Legal Network.

<h3><a href="/about/team.html">Public Awareness</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Informing the public about Free Software is part of FSFE's
|
|
core mission. Many people in the organisation are experts on
|
|
various Free Software topics, and can be contacted about
|
|
giving authoritative talks, holding workshops, or
|
|
participating in discussions.
|
|

|
|
<h3><a href="/activities/os/os.html">Open Standards</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<a href="/activities/os/def.html">Open Standards</a> allow
|
|
people to share all kinds of data freely and with perfect
|
|
fidelity. They prevent lock-in and other artificial barriers
|
|
to interoperability, and promote choice between vendors and
|
|
technology
|
|
solutions. FSFE's <a href="/activities/os/os.en.html">work on
|
|
Open Standards</a> has the goal of making sure that people
|
|
find it easy to migrate to Free Software or between Free
|
|
Software solutions.

<h3><a href="/activities/procurement/procurement.html">Public
|
|
procurement</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Free Software is a perfect fit for the public sector. It brings
|
|
efficiency to government, transparency to citizens, and competition to
|
|
business. FSFE works with public bodies throughout Europe to improve
|
|
public IT procurement and open up opportunities for Free Software.
|

<h3><a href="/campaigns/swpat/swpat.html">Software patents in Europe</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Software patents are a menace to society and economy. They
|
|
restrict innovation, damage businesses and put collaborative
|
|
creativity in great danger. FSFE fights to keep Europe free
|
|
of software patents, and works at the UN level to abolish
|
|
software patents around the world.

<h3><a href="/activities/policy/eu/eu.html">European Union</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
FSFE works with the <a href="/activities/policy/eu/eu.html">European
|
|
Commission and European Parliament</a> to create a positive
|
|
environment for Free Software and Open Standards in
|
|
Europe. We fight against monopolies and for <a href="/campaigns/swpat/novell-cptn.html">competition</a>
|
|
in the software market by participating as an interested third
|
|
party
|
|
in <a href="/activities/ms-vs-eu/ms-vs-eu.html">antitrust</a>
|
|
cases. We inform policy makers about the opportunities that
|
|
Free Software offers, and push for interoperability.

<h3><a href="/activities/education/education.html">Education</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
FSFE actively promotes the use of Free Software in schools and
|
|
universities. Free Software is pedagogically superior, its
|
|
basic spirit involving freedom and cooperation is the same
|
|
spirit of education in a democratic environment.

<h3><a href="/activities/un/un.html">United Nations & WIPO</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
FSFE has been active at the United Nations level since 2002,
|
|
helping to create a free and equitable global information
|
|
society. We hold observer status at the <a
|
|
href="/activities/wipo/wipo.html">World Intellectual
|
|
Property Organization</a>.

|

<p style="clear: both;">
|
|
The Free Software Foundation Europe has worked on many other issues and
|
|
campaigns. See our <a href="/campaigns/finished.html">Finished And
|
|
Discontinued Projects</a> for details of what we've achieved.
