Conservancy's Policies
======================
These are the policies of the [Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc.](https://sfconservancy.org).
License
-------
To the extent possible, Conservancy disclaims all copyright on the documents
herein, and provides them under the
[CC-0 1.0 Universal copyright waiver and fallback license](CC0-1.0.txt).
Conservancy kindly asks that you remove Conservancy's name and all references
to contact information of our organization if you reuse these policies for
your own organizations and projects.
Contributing
------------
The canonical location for this repository is
[on Gitorious](https://gitorious.org/conservancy/policies). Copies of this
repository elsewhere, such as Github, are for backup purposes only. If you
have contributions, submit them on Gitorious.
These policies are discussed in public with Conservancy's member projects and
other Conservancy enthusiasts on
[the polices-discuss mailing list](http://lists.sfconservancy.org/mailman/listinfo/policies-discuss).
The 'master' branch in this repository denotes the current polices that are
in-effect for the Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc. Proposals are made by
people in forked versions on Gitorious, and then if the
[Conservancy staff](https://sfconservancy.org/about/staff/) plans to propose
them to
[Conservancy's Board of Directors](https://sfconservancy.org/about/board/),
they are merged into the 'ready-for-board-approval' branch. Once approved by
the Board of Directors, Conservancy staff merges the changes into the
'master' branch.
