Software Freedom needs your help.

- -

Conservancy must move to a -Supporter-driven organization so we can focus on critical free software -issues that nobody else is tackling. Stand up for the GPL, support great -member projects, and make your voice heard in support of free software. -

- - - - -

- -The world today is powered increasingly by Free Software. But what many -people don't realize is how much support is needed to keep all of these -projects free and open. The work that we do every day ensures the success and -the continued freedom of the projects that the developers of our member -projects dedicate themselves to. Projects like Git, Samba, -Wine, BusyBox, QEMU, Inkscape, Selenium, and dozens more.

- -

We are asking for you - to but this is more than our usual annual - fundraising appeal. As described in more detail below, after the events - of 2015, we must substantially increase our individual support to be able - to continue defending software freedom for our member projects and the - entire free and open source software community. We needed at least 750 - of you to become annual Supporters just to continue our basic community - services, and we thank you so much that you responded. But - we still need 2,500 (total) of you to become annual Supporters now to continue - our licensing work, including enforcing copyleft licenses. If you don't become a Supporter now, - we will be forced to radically restructure and wind down a substantial portion - of our operations.

2015 successes

- - -

-Software Freedom Conservancy has had a lot of major successes this year: -

-

And we did all of this with only three full time employees.

- -

We are focused on the most important ethical issues in software -freedom. We work tirelessly and don't shy away from difficult issues.

- -

We're a unique organization — a staunch defender of copyleft (for Linux, -Debian and many of our member projects), a source of education and champions -of diversity for the community via Outreachy and other programs, and are the -legal home to over 30 member projects that are essential to developing free -software.

- -

We undertake these critical programs because they are essential to the -future of technology. We do them because they are right. But we cannot do -them without you. If we do not meet our fundraising goals, we will be -forced to radically restructure.

- -

Our fiscal sponsorship model is not financially self-sustaining by itself: -we cannot afford even one staff member and basic overhead with the revenue we -take in from our projects. With 750 supporters, we can now sustain the basic -work and we will survive. But to thrive, and handle the really complex tasks like -copyright and licensing advice, and license compliance, we need even more -resources. That's why our final target is 2,500 Supporters. If you use -or care about our member projects, which -include some of the most widely used free software, you can help them all -by .

- -

Fighting for the GPL

- - - -

Many consider our GPL compliance and enforcement controversial. We don't -think it is: we stand up for -the GPL at the request of the Linux kernel community, the Debian community, -and our member projects. Most recently, that has resulted in our funding -of the suit -against VMware, which is the first lawsuit on derivative works and the -GPL. While this work is extremely important to the continued long-term -success of software freedom and copyleft not to mention in the long term -interest of the industry as a whole, it makes fundraising from companies -very difficult. Some companies -have withdrawn from funding us and some have even successfully pressured -conferences to cancel or prevent talks on our compliance work. We do -this work because we think that it is good for everyone in the long run, -because we know it is the right thing to do, and because we know that we are -in the best position to do it. But that's not enough — you have to think it's -right too and .

- -*** The Conservancy T-Shirt that Supporters Receive *** - -

It's up to you

- -

We have raised enough money to continue the VMware case, but our overall -compliance work needs additional support to be able to continue. As we -state in -the Principles -of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement, we cannot prioritize profit in -these actions without compromising on the end goals of that work which is to -help companies become free and open source software users and contributors. - -

Moreover, we have lost committed general funding from companies explicitly -because of our compliance work. Continuing this work without individual -support is no longer possible.

- -

As a result, we need 2,500 Supporters in order to maintain the staff and -resources in the organization to properly undertake compliance efforts. We hope you -will -to help us achieve this. If we don't reach our goal, we will have no choice -but to hibernate compliance until we have the resources to pick it up -properly at some point in the future.

- -

If you care about the -GPL, -so we can stand up for the GPL together.

- -* - - -

Please and spread software freedom!

We are focused on the most important ethical issues in software +freedom. We work tirelessly and don't shy away from difficult issues.

+ +

We're a unique organization — a staunch defender of copyleft (for Linux, +Debian and many of our member projects), a source of education and champions +of diversity for the community via Outreachy and other programs, and are the +legal home to 40 member projects that are essential to developing free +software.

+ +

We undertake these critical programs because they are essential to the +future of technology. We do them because they are right. But we cannot do +them without you. Last year you helped us to fundraising goals that didn't merely keep us running, but even let us hire a new employee. Yet even this staffing level isn't enough to handle our existing workload.

+ +

Our fiscal sponsorship model is not financially self-sustaining by itself: +we cannot afford even one staff member and basic overhead with the revenue we +take in from our projects. With over 1,000 Supporters, we can now sustain the basic +work and we will survive. But to thrive, and handle the really complex tasks like +copyright and licensing advice, and license compliance, we need even more +resources. That's why our final target is 2,500 Supporters.

Many consider our GPL compliance and enforcement controversial.

While this work is extremely important to the continued long-term +success of software freedom and copyleft, not to mention in the long-term +interest of the industry as a whole, it makes fundraising from companies +very difficult. Some companies +have stopped funding us and some have even successfully pressured +conferences to cancel or prevent talks on our compliance work.

It's up to you

+ +

Conservancy is deeply committed to supporting, promoting, developing, and +defending free and open source software. We pursue our mission on various +fronts, and we're proud of what we've been able to accomplish in 2016. To +do even more in 2017 and in the years to come, we need your help.

+ +

We believe 2017 will be a critical year for Conservancy, our member +projects, and our work. We look forward to making huge strides in providing +software tools for public charities as well as services for developer +communities. We will continue to champion the rights of the public and the +interests of copyright holders who have licensed their contributions to the +commons for the public's benefit. We will continue to host and speak at +conferences, create and maintain educational resources, and raise awareness +about how free and open source software is essential to a free and open +source society.

+ +

While we appreciate our corporate donors, we simply cannot depend +solely on grants from companies who may not find our mission to be +compatible with shifting corporate strategies. We need you, the public as +well. Simply put, we need 2,500 Supporters in order to maintain our staff, +continue to provide a full range of administrative, bookkeeping, and legal +services to our member projects, educate the public, and +undertake compliance efforts. We hope you will to help us achieve this. If we don't reach our goal, we will +have no choice but to hibernate some of our activities — likely +our compliance efforts — until we have the resources to resume them +properly at some point in the future.

+ +

If you care about Conservancy's mission, help us meet our goal so we can stand up for software +freedom together.

+ +Supporters ♥ Conservancy + +

Please +and spread the word!
