Free Software Foundation Europe
"Free as in Freedom"
Welcome to the home page of the Free Software Foundation Europe. The FSF
Europe was launched on March 10th 2001 and supports all European aspects
of Free Software; especially the
GNU Project. We are actively
supporting development of Free Software and furthering GNU-based
Operating Systems such as GNU/Linux. Also, we provide an assistance
centre for politicians, lawyers and journalists in order to secure the
legal, political and social future of Free Software.
