Political decisions and their implementation have a large impact on Free Software, its ecosystem, and its communities. With the help of the framework of our “Public Money? Public Code!” campaign, the FSFE is advocating for legislation that requires that publicly financed software developed for the public sector should be made publicly available under a Free Software licence. In this talk, we will do a brief overview of previous and ongoing EU policy topics, giving a special focus on the Interoperable Europe Act, the need for "Free Software first" approach, and the crucial role that other stakeholders especially civil society must play in it.
