The EuroLinux Alliance for a Free Information Infrastructure is a coalition of citizens, commercial companies and non-governmental organisations (NGO) united to promote and protect a vigourous European Software Culture based on copyright, open standards, open competition and open source software such as Linux. Eurolinux was founded in 1999 and launched a successful campaign against European software patenting. More than 300 000 European citizens supported the Eurolinux petition for a software patent free Europe. Eurolinux continues to talk with policy makers to make Europe more competetive in a world increasingly dominated by ubiquitious Linux and other free and open source solutions.
