We believe that #FreeSoftware is the key to an accessible, open, transparent and diverse Internet that respects human rights in digital spaces.

Currently we are a partner of two #HorizonEurope @NGIZero grant programmes to help to achieve it

#FreeSoftware guarantees you 4⃣ freedoms: to use, understand, share and improve software.
These rights, that define #SoftwareFreedom, help support other fundamental freedoms like freedom of speech, press, and privacy

Developing and re-using Free Software is fun, but dealing with licensing and copyright information is not. The REUSE tool can help to change that. Help us make #FreeSoftware easier for developers & legal professionals!
