FSFEs

FSFE stands for the Free Software Foundation Europe. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and defending Free Software in Europe. Free Software is software that respects users' freedom, meaning it can be freely used, studied, shared, and modified. The FSFE works to ensure that these freedoms are upheld through legal, political, and technical means.

The organization engages in various activities. This includes advocating for Free Software in public administrations and educational institutions, as well as providing legal assistance and advice to individuals and organizations. They also conduct public awareness campaigns to educate people about the benefits of Free Software and the importance of user freedom. The FSFE is part of the global Free Software Foundation network, with its counterpart in the United States being the Free Software Foundation. They collaborate with other organizations and individuals who share their vision of a digital world where users have control over the technology they use. Their work aims to foster innovation and a more equitable digital landscape by empowering users.
