La Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) è un'organizzazione senza fini di lucro dedicata al Software Libero. La FSFE ritiene che le libertà di usare, studiare, condividere e migliorare il software siano cruciali per assicurare un'equa partecipazione alla società dell'informazione. Lavoriamo per creare consapevolezza e supporto per la libertà del software, a livello politico, giuridico e della società nel suo complesso. Inoltre promuoviamo lo sviluppo di tecnologie, come il sistema operativo GNU/Linux, che assicurano queste libertà a tutti i membri della società digitale.
Il lavoro della FSFE è reso possibile da molti contributi individuali, in particolare dalla Fellowship della FSFE. Un modo per contribuire è quello di unirsi subito e invitare altri a farlo.
