Its stated purpose is to promote the application of software and its source code based on the spirit of software freedom and openness, to advance the free software community through education and international exchange, and to improve software quality and technical standards. Its tasks include raising public awareness of free and open software, promoting the localization of free and open software, assisting government agencies and civil groups on related legal matters, providing education and training, researching software industry policy, and promoting international exchange. The association is organized around a members' assembly, a board of directors, and a board of supervisors.

The Software Liberty Association Taiwan was founded on 8 April 2001, with the association's own account stating that it originated from an aspiration dated 9 June 2000. It describes itself as having been the first, and at one time the only, legal-entity representative of the free software field in Taiwan. In 2003 the OSSACC program was established, commissioned by the Ministry of Education and undertaken by the association, to bring free software and open-source digital teaching materials into schools; it created the ezgo free software experience disc. The association also worked to open national skills certification examinations to free software, and from 2015, when the National Development Council began promoting the Open Document Format (ODF), the association contributed to ODF adoption in Taiwan.
