Free Software Foundation Europe
Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to
control technology.
Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives. Free Software
gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt and share software.
These rights help support other fundamental rights like freedom of
speech, freedom of press and privacy.

In just three years, our REUSE initiative has successfully changed licensing practices of at least over five hundred projects.

We used the chance to speak with Andreas Cord-Landwehr about REUSE adoption in the KDE community.

International development cooperation is increasingly digitised. Free Software thus is becoming a fundamental technology to reach the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals.

The "Public Money - Public Code" campaign, as well as the "REUSE
Initiative" made me notice that the FSFE is an organization which
supports the same ideals that I do. I want to help them do more great
things, and so now I am proud FSFE supporter.

I hope that more and more people will understand the importance of being ethical in their digital life and thus consciously use Free Software and that we will have more and more volunteers from all over Europe.
