The Free Software Foundation Europe relies on donations to be an independent voice. Our donors and Fellows help us to achive that with continous support. Another possibility to support FSFE is through some support programs . Some of you already know these programs, some don’t. I will try here to briefly present how these programs works and then present the incomes we receive through them.
These programs rely on the online book store Bookzilla.de, which is a frontend made by the German based company freiheit.com for the Libri bookshop and on Amazon, through which FSFE receives a certain percentage (~5%) of the sales if people ordering have installed our web browser plug-in.
As we want to be as transparent as possible about our income here the numbers.
