Free software, free society, free education!

We can only learn in freedom if the software we use is free. Your donation helps us bring free software to schools, universities, and every learner around the world, thereby protecting not only each learner's freedom, but also educating everybody on the importance of free software. What better way is there to learn about free software than by using it? Free software in education is vital for a free society. Together, we can build a future in which everyone will be able to learn in freedom and will know their rights as a user.
