<h1>Freedom in Multimedia</h1>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Multimedia in general and audio in particular were areas dominated almost
|
|
exclusively by proprietary software. Within the "A GNU/Linux Audio
|
|
distribution" (AGNULA) project, a group of European universities, companies and
|
|
organisations — among them the <a href="/">Free Software Foundation Europe</a>
|
|
(FSFE) — set out to change this in 2001.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Version 1.0 of AGNULA was finally released in early 2004.</p>
|

<p>AGNULA managed to be accepted as European Commission project IST-2001-34879
|
|
and was funded from April 1st, 2002 until March 31st, 2004. The project was
|
|
coordinated by Nicola Bernardini from Centro Tempo Reale, Florence, Italy.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The project was finished to the full satisfaction of the European Commission
|
|
and you can read the final article about AGNULA on the IST results page of the
|
|
European Commission at <a

<h3>FSFE Contributions</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>One seminal role of the FSFE inside the AGNULA EU project was to take care
|
|
of the legal issues, decide upon acceptable licensing policies and care about
|
|
legal maintainability. Other tasks were making sure that Free Software
|
|
community interests are heard, helping that information is provided in the best
|
|
possible way and work on the dissemination of the final results:</p>
