<p>
|
|
|
|
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.

<h3><a href="/projects/ftf/ftf.html">Freedom Task Force</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
The Freedom Task Force collects and shares knowledge about
|
|
legal and licensing aspects of Free Software, safeguards the
|
|
interests of Free Software projects, connects experts
|
|
throughout the world and helps other groups achieve similar
|
|
goals. We provide
|
|
assistance, <a href="/projects/ftf/education.en.html">training</a>
|
|
and <a href="/projects/ftf/documentation.html">documentation</a>,
|
|
in partnership with gpl-violations.org and members of the
|
|
European Legal Network.

|
|
<h3><a href="/projects/ftf/network.html">The European Legal Network</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We maintain the world's largest private, non-partisan,
|
|
vendor-neutral network of legal experts in the field of Free
|
|
Software licensing.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>

|

|
|
<h3><a href="/projects/os/os.html">Open Standards</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<a href="/projects/os/def.en.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="/projects/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="/projects/un/un.html">United Nations</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
FSFE has been active at the United Nations level since
|
|
2002. We have contributed to having <a
|
|
href="/projects/mankind/mankind.html">Free Software
|
|
recognised as a world heritage at UNESCO</a>. We are
|
|
currently active in the following areas:
|

|
<li><a href="/projects/wipo/wipo.html">World Intellectual Property Organization</a></li>

<h3><a href="/projects/eu/eu.html">European Union</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
FSFE works with the <a href="/projects/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 competition in
|
|
the software market by participating as an interested third
|
|
party
|
|
in <a href="/projects/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="/about/speakerlist.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.
|
|

|
|
<li>
|
|
<h3><a href="/projects/education/education.html">Education</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
FSFE actively promote 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="/projects/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.
