This site feels a bit dodge. It isn't an EU petition but it gives off the impression because of the .eu domain.

It's by the fsfe, so mainly targeting the EU.

We need software that fosters the sharing of good ideas and solutions. Like this we will be able to improve IT services for people all over Europe.
