<br>### About the FSFE
<br>
<br>Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to
<br>control technology. Software is deeply involved in all aspects of
our
<br>lives; and it is important that this technology empowers rather than
<br>restricts us. Free Software gives everybody the rights to use,
<br>understand, adapt and share software. These rights help support
other
<br>fundamental freedoms like freedom of speech, press and privacy.
<br>
<br>The FSFE helps individuals and organisations to understand how Free
<br>Software contributes to freedom, transparency, and
self-determination.
<br>It enhances users' rights by abolishing barriers to Free Software
<br>adoption, encourages people to use and develop Free Software, and
<br>provides resources to enable everyone to further promote Free
Software
<br>in Europe.
<br>
<br>Our main policy topics cover Free Software and Open Standards issues
on
<br>the EU and member state level. Currently the main focus is on
"Public
<br>Money Public Code" campaign <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://publiccode.eu">https://publiccode.eu</a>, "Save Code Share"
