<h1>About Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc.</h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Software Freedom Conservancy is a nonprofit organization
|
||||||
<p>Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit
|
centered around ethical technology. Our mission is to ensure the right to
|
||||||
organization incorporated in New York. Software Freedom Conservancy helps
|
repair, improve and reinstall software. We promote and defend these rights
|
||||||
promote, improve, develop, and defend Free, Libre, and Open Source Software
|
through fostering free and open source software (FOSS) projects, driving
|
||||||
(FLOSS) projects. Conservancy provides a non-profit home and infrastructure
|
initiatives that actively make technology more inclusive, and advancing policy
|
||||||
for FLOSS projects. This allows FLOSS developers to focus on what they do
|
strategies that defend FOSS (such as copyleft).</p>
|
||||||
best — writing and improving FLOSS for the general public — while
|
|
||||||
Conservancy takes care of the projects' needs that do not relate directly to
|
|
||||||
software development and documentation.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>FLOSS projects whose <a href="/members/apply">applications are
|
|
||||||
accepted</a> become part of the Software Freedom Conservancy
|
|
||||||
(akin to a separate department of a large agency). Once joined, the
|
|
||||||
<a href="/members">“member project”</a> receives most of
|
|
||||||
the benefits of existing as a non-profit corporate entity without
|
|
||||||
engaging in the arduous work of forming a separate, new organization.
|
|
||||||
Conservancy aggregates the work of running a FLOSS non-profit
|
|
||||||
for <a href="/members/current/">its many members</a>.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Conservancy provides <a href="/members/services/">many important services</a> for its
|
|
||||||
member projects. Member projects can take directed donations, which
|
|
||||||
allows donors to earmark their donations for the benefit of a specific
|
|
||||||
FLOSS project. Conservancy provides fiscal oversight to ensure that
|
|
||||||
these funds are spent in a manner that advances the project and fits
|
|
||||||
with Conservancy's 501(c)(3) mission to promote, advance, and defend software freedom.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>If the member project's leaders want, Conservancy can also hold other
|
|
||||||
assets and titles on behalf of the projects, such as copyrights,
|
|
||||||
trademarks, domain names, online hosting accounts, and title and ownership
|
|
||||||
of physical hardware. Also at discretion of the project's leaders,
|
|
||||||
Conservancy can assist in defending the rights represented in these
|
|
||||||
assets. For example, Conservancy is available to assist member projects
|
|
||||||
in enforcing the terms of the projects' FLOSS license.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Finally, developers of Conservancy's member projects, when operating in
|
|
||||||
their capacity as project leaders, could receive some protection from personal
|
|
||||||
liability for their work on the project.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>For further reading on the benefits of Conservancy, a full and detailed <a href="/members/services/">list of Conservancy's
|
|
||||||
services for its member projects</a> and a <a href="/members/current/">a
|
|
||||||
list of Conservancy's current member projects</a> are available.</p>

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Conservancy and its <a href="/about/board">directors</a>
|
|
||||||
and <a href="/about/staff">staff</a> believe strongly in the principles of
|
|
||||||
software freedom, and believe that all users should have the right to
|
|
||||||
study, improve and share their software. Conservancy helps protect,
|
|
||||||
enable, coordinate, facilitate and defend the public's right to copy,
|
|
||||||
share, modify and redistribute FLOSS both non-commercially and
|
|
||||||
commercially. Finally, like most organizations devoted to FLOSS,
|
|
||||||
Conservancy opposes the notion of patents that cover software, and urges
|
|
||||||
contributors to its member projects not to apply for patents.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p>Conservancy strives to be as transparent as possible, and makes
|
|
||||||
its <a href="/about/filings/">public filings available on its website</a>.
