This means that on this limited subject the FSFE is taken seriously as someone to talk to.
I can not judge your last sentence, Bernhard, but I hope that's the case.
the indicators known to me: * Our representatives got appointments with people in Brussels when asking for the topic * There was one draft were there was an exception for non-commercial towards Free Software, we pointed this out, and it got changed. * Some other friendly NGOs did not get appointments for their broader topics. (We'd wished they would.)
Of course we probably were not the only ones that people talked to, but this is also part of successful explanations to say something that is confirmed by other groups as well.
Well in one meaning it is lobbying, as we try to speak to politicians, on the other hand it is edcuation because we give them the same arguments that we give everybody, we help them to understand how software and society is connected.
Best Regards, Bernhard
