<h1>About the Freedom Task Force</h1>

|
|
The Freedom Task Force (FTF) helps individuals, projects and businesses

|
understand Free Software licensing and the opportunities that it

|
presents. We have a physical office in Zurich, Switzerland and our
|
|
responsibilities are education, training, consultancy, fiduciary services
|
|
and licence enforcement. The FTF coordinates FSFE's legal activities and
|
|
manages the Foundation's interaction with issues like the European
|
|
Commission versus Microsoft anti-trust case.
