| <h4>Software Freedom needs your help. </h4> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <p><em>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.   |  | ||||||
| <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">Donate today!</a></em></p> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <!--- FIXME scale this properly like on VMware page --> |  | ||||||

 |  | ||||||
| <a href="/img/member-project-logos.png"><img class="appeal-left" src="/img/member-project-logos.png"/></a> |  | ||||||
| <p> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| 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.</p> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <p>We are asking for you |  | ||||||
|   to <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">join us and become a |  | ||||||
|     Conservancy Supporter</a> 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.</p> |  | ||||||

| <p> |  | ||||||
| Software Freedom Conservancy has had a lot of major successes this year: |  | ||||||
| <ul> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <li>We brought four new projects under the protection of  |  | ||||||
| Conservancy: <a href="/news/2015/jul/23/qemu-joins/">QEMU</a>, |  | ||||||
|   the generic machine emulator and |  | ||||||
| virtualizer, <a href="https://www.bro.org/">The Bro Network Security |  | ||||||
| Monitor</a>, the <a href="http://www.godotengine.org/">Godot Game Engine</a>, |  | ||||||
| and <a href="http://outreachy.org">Outreachy</a>, a program dedicated to |  | ||||||
| helping people from underrepresented groups get involved in free and open |  | ||||||
| source software. We also worked with the Debian community to launch |  | ||||||
| the <a href="/news/2015/aug/17/debian/">Debian |  | ||||||
| Copyright Aggregation Project</a> at their request.</li> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <li>We <a href="/news/2015/mar/05/vmware-lawsuit/">supported |  | ||||||
| the lawsuit</a> Christoph Hellwig has brought against VMware in Germany, the |  | ||||||
| first case on derivative works and the GPL.</li> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <li>We fought for |  | ||||||
| and <a href="/news/2015/oct/27/DMCA-win/">successfully |  | ||||||
| earned an exemption from the Library of Congress in the DMCA review |  | ||||||
| process</a> to legally permit circumvention of encryption on Smart TVs, |  | ||||||
| ensuring that you are free to hack on the devices that you legally own. </li> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <li>We collaborated with the <a href="https://fsf.org/">Free Software |  | ||||||
| Foundation</a> to publish |  | ||||||
| the <a href="/copyleft-compliance/principles.html">Principles |  | ||||||
| of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement</a>, establishing community norms for |  | ||||||
| enforcing the GPL in the public's interest, which have  |  | ||||||
| already been <a href="/copyleft-compliance/principles.kr.html">translated |  | ||||||
| into Korean</a>.</li> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <li>Along with FSF, we |  | ||||||
| helped <a href="/news/2015/jul/15/ubuntu-ip-policy/">Canonical, |  | ||||||
| Ltd. achieve compliance in its "Intellectual Property" Policy</a>, while |  | ||||||
| pointing out that the policy fails to address important software freedom |  | ||||||
| issues.</li> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <li>We conducted friendly discussions with companies out of compliance with |  | ||||||
| the GPL, seeking non-litigious resolutions.</li> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <li>We participated in the process |  | ||||||
| of <a href="/news/2015/oct/14/FCC-comment/">telling |  | ||||||
| the FCC to fix its proposed rules</a> restricting third-party modification of |  | ||||||
| firmware in wireless devices. |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <li>We helped, coordinated, and financially insured volunteers of three of |  | ||||||
|   our member projects to organize large annual conferences, where thousands of |  | ||||||
|   attendees learned about free and open source software.</li> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <!-- conledger -V -b 2015-01-01 --limit 'tag("Approval") =~ /\/2015/ and tag("TaxImplication") !~ /(Reimbursement|USA-501c3|Corporation|Tax-Payment|LLC|W2|Refund)/' reg '/Assets/'|wc -l --> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <li>We made 173 contractor payments to developers writing free and open source  |  | ||||||
|   software, which included various different internships and contract |  | ||||||
|   software development work.</li> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <!--  conledger -V -b 2015-01-01 --limit 'tag("Approval") =~ /\/2015/ and tag("TaxImplication") =~ /Reimbursement/' reg '/Assets/'|egrep '^2015'|wc -l --> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <li>We processed and paid 134 reimbursement requests to individuals doing work |  | ||||||
|   around the globe advocating for their free and open source software |  | ||||||
|   projects at conferences and other venues.</li> |  | ||||||
|    |  | ||||||
| <li>We gave keynotes |  | ||||||
| at <a href="/blog/2015/aug/17/debian/">DebConf</a>, <a href="https://archive.fosdem.org/2015/schedule/event/identity_crisis/">FOSDEM</a>, <a href="/blog/2015/jul/14/FISL16/">FISL</>, <a href="/news/2015/mar/31/libreplanet/">LibrePlanet</a>, <a href="/blog/2015/sep/30/linaro-keynote/">Linaro |  | ||||||
| Connect</a>, |  | ||||||
| and <a href="/blog/2015/dec/16/yir-fosdem-2015/">participated</a> <a href="/blog/2015/dec/12/yir-bkuhn-lca/">in</a> |  | ||||||
| <a href="/blog/2015/dec/11/yir-karen-lca/">many</a> more conferences all over the world; we also  |  | ||||||
| shared our expertise in initiatives |  | ||||||
| like <a href="https://copyleft.org/">copyleft.org</a>. We participated in |  | ||||||
| interviews and <a href="/blog/">blogposts</a>, and |  | ||||||
| Bradley and Karen published episodes of <a href="http://faif.us/">Free as in |  | ||||||
| Freedom</a>, dedicated to discussing the important issues in software |  | ||||||
| freedom.</li> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| </ul> |  | ||||||
| <p>And we did <strong>all of this</strong> with <strong>only three full time employees</strong>.</p> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <p>We are focused on the most important ethical issues in software |  | ||||||
| freedom. We work tirelessly and don't shy away from difficult issues.</p> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <p>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.</p> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <p>We undertake these critical programs because they are essential to the |  | ||||||
| future of technology. We do them because they are right. <strong>But we cannot do |  | ||||||
| them without you</strong>. If we do not meet our fundraising goals, we will be |  | ||||||
| forced to radically restructure.</p> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <p>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 <a href="/members/current/">member projects</a>, which |  | ||||||
| include some of the most widely used free software, you can help them all |  | ||||||
| by <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">signing up as a Supporter |  | ||||||
| today</a>.</p> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <h4>Fighting for the GPL</h4> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <a href="/img/gpl-heart.png"><img class="appeal-right"  src="/img/gpl-heart.png"/></a> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <p>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 <a href="/news/2015/mar/05/vmware-lawsuit/">suit |  | ||||||
| against VMware</a>, 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 <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">show us by |  | ||||||
| becoming a Supporter now</a>.</p> |  | ||||||
|   |  | ||||||
| <img alt="*** The Conservancy T-Shirt that Supporters Receive ***" class="appeal-left" src="/img/conservancy-t-shirt.jpg"/> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <h4>It's up to you</h4> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <p>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 <a href="/copyleft-compliance/principles.html">Principles |  | ||||||
| of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement</a>, 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. |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <p>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.</p> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <p>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 <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">sign up as a Supporter</a> |  | ||||||
| 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.</p> |  | ||||||
| 
 |  | ||||||
| <p>If you care about the |  | ||||||
| GPL, <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">help us meet our goal</a> |  | ||||||
| so we can stand up for the GPL together.</p> |  | ||||||

|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p><em>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.   | ||||||

|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>The world today is powered more and more 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.</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>We are asking for you | ||||||
|  |   to <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">join us and become a | ||||||
|  |     Conservancy Supporter</a> 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.</p> | ||||||

|  | <h4>2016 successes</h4> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p> | ||||||
|  | Software Freedom Conservancy has had a lot of major successes this year: | ||||||
|  | <ul> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <li>We brought three new projects under the protection of Conservancy: <a href="https://forums.librehealth.io/">LibreHealth</a>, a critical initiative for health in free and open source software; <a href="https://www.spec-ops.io/">Spec-Ops</a>, a project dedicated to creating of open standards in critical areas, including payments and identity; | ||||||
|  | and <a href="http://brew.sh/">Homebrew</a>, a software package manager for Apple's OS X. </li> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <li>We <a href="/news/2015/mar/05/vmware-lawsuit/">supported | ||||||
|  | the lawsuit</a> Christoph Hellwig brought against VMware in Germany, the | ||||||
|  | first case on derivative works and the GPL. Christoph's case <a href="/news/2016/aug/09/vmware-appeal/">continues on appeal</a>.</li> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <li>We helped Conservancy projects Bro, Buildbot, and Godot receive Mozilla MOSS grants. Another Conservancy project, phpMyAdmin, successfully completed a thorough security audit as part of Mozilla's Secure Open Source Fund (no serious issues were found!).</li> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <li>We <a href="/news/2016/may/10/yorba-assigns-copyrights/">received an assignment of copyrights from the Yorba Foundation</a>, including Shotwell and Geary, in order to safeguard those copyrights for the future.</li> | ||||||

|  | <li>We conducted friendly discussions with companies out of compliance with | ||||||
|  | the GPL, seeking non-litigious resolutions in accordance with our <a href="/copyleft-compliance/principles.html">Principles</a>. We <a href="/news/2016/nov/03/linux-compliance-agreements/">published our template agreements</a> and held two feedback sessions, at <a href="/blog/2016/oct/27/feedback-gpl/">Embedded Linux Conference EU</a> and <a href="/blog/2016/nov/16/2016-lpc-gpl-compliance-bof/">Linux Plumbers' Conference</a>, to evaluate and improve our compliance efforts. We also worked with other community members to <a href="/blog/2016/jul/19/patrick-mchardy-gpl-enforcement/">bring clarity to international activities around GPL compliance</a> and help make the ecosystem safer for free software adoption. We stayed committed to providing <a href="/blog/2016/feb/25/zfs-and-linux/">straightforward analysis about the GPL</a>.</li> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <li>Our Executive Director, Karen Sandler, <a href="/news/2016/feb/23/FOSSA-testimony/">testified to the New York City Council Committee on Contracts in favor of the Free and Open Source Software Act and the Civic Commons Act</a> which would increase the use of free and open source software by New York City departments and agencies. Karen later in the year also <a href="/news/2016/oct/26/karen-sandler-oscon-eu-2016/">taught kids in London about free software</a>.</li> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <li>We <a href="/blog/?tag=ContractPatch">launched a new initiative called ContractPatch</a> to help provide information and understanding about employment agreements.</li> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <li>We <a href="/blog/2016/jun/06/openchain-spec/">commented on the OpenChain specification</a> to help make sure that the initiative by companies to collaboratively come up with standards and shared materials around compliance also meets community expectations about how compliance obligations are satisfied.</li> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <li>We supported, helped coordinate, and financially backed volunteers from | ||||||
|  |   our member projects to organize seven conferences in three continents, where thousands of | ||||||
|  |   attendees learned about free and open source software.</li> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <li>We processed and paid reimbursementrequests to individuals doing work | ||||||
|  |   around the globe advocating for their free and open source software | ||||||
|  |   projects at conferences and other venues. We also paid contractors to | ||||||
|  |   improve our projects' software.</li> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <li>We gave keynotes | ||||||
|  | at <a href="/news/2016/oct/26/karen-sandler-oscon-eu-2016/">OSCON EU</a>, <a href="/news/2016/sep/14/brocon-keynote/">BroCon</a>, <a href="https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-conference-keynote-speakers-and-launch-event/">the NextCloud conference</>, <a href="/blog/2016/aug/16/guadec-2016/">GUADEC</a>, <a href="/news/2016/aug/08/guadec-opensym/">OpenSym 2016</a>, <a href="https://debconf16.debconf.org/talks/57/">Debconf</a>, <a href"/news/2016/may/31/kuhn-sweden-norway/">OSS 2016</a>, <a href="https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/collection/companies-free-software-and-you/">LibrePlanet</a>, <a href="https://www.openwest.org/keynote/">OpenWest</a> | ||||||
|  | and participated many more conferences all over the world. We also | ||||||
|  | shared our expertise in initiatives | ||||||
|  | like <a href="https://copyleft.org/">copyleft.org</a>. We gave | ||||||
|  | interviews, published <a href="/blog/">blog posts</a>, and | ||||||
|  | Bradley and Karen released episodes of <a href="http://faif.us/">Free as in | ||||||
|  | Freedom</a>, all dedicated to discussing the important issues in software | ||||||
|  | freedom.</li> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | </ul> | ||||||
|  | <p>And we did <strong>all of this</strong> with a tiny staff of only four full time employees.</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>We are focused on the most important ethical issues in software | ||||||
|  | freedom. We work tirelessly and don't shy away from difficult issues.</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>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.</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>We undertake these critical programs because they are essential to the | ||||||
|  | future of technology. We do them because they are right. <strong>But we cannot do | ||||||
|  | them without you.</strong> Last year you helped us to fundraising goals that didn't merely keep us running, but even let us <a href="/news/2016/aug/22/brett-joins/">hire a new employee</a>. Yet even this staffing level isn't enough to handle our existing workload.</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>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.  If you use | ||||||
|  | or care about our <a href="/members/current/">member projects</a>, which | ||||||
|  | include some of the most widely used free software, you can help them all | ||||||
|  | by <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">signing up as a Supporter | ||||||

|  | <h4>Fighting for the GPL</h4> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <a href="/img/gpl-heart.png" alt="We ♥ GPL"><img class="appeal-right"  src="/img/gpl-heart.png"/></a> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>Many consider our GPL compliance and enforcement controversial.   We don't | ||||||
|  | think it is:  we stand up for the GPL at the request of our member projects, | ||||||
|  | the Debian community, and members of the Linux kernel community. | ||||||
|  | Most recently, that has resulted in our funding | ||||||
|  | of the <a href="/news/2015/mar/05/vmware-lawsuit/">suit | ||||||
|  | against VMware</a>, which is the first lawsuit on derivative works and the | ||||||
|  | GPL (Christoph's case <a href="/news/2016/aug/09/vmware-appeal/">continues on appeal</a>). 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. 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 <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">show us by | ||||||
|  | becoming a Supporter now</a>.</p> | ||||||

|  | <h4>It's up to you</h4> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>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.</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>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. </p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>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, <strong>and</strong> | ||||||
|  | undertake compliance efforts.  We hope you will <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">sign up as a Supporter</a> 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.</p> | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | <p>If you care about Conservancy's mission, <a href="#donate-box" | ||||||
|  | class="donate-now">help us meet our goal</a> so we can stand up for software | ||||||
|  | freedom together.</p> | ||||||
