<h1>About Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc.</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit
|
||||
organization incorporated in New York. Conservancy is managed by
|
||||
its <a href="/about/board/">board of directors</a>, who appoint
|
||||
its <a href="/about/officers/">officers</a> and hire
|
||||
its <a href="/about/staff/">staff</a>. Conservancy also gets some
|
||||
occasional help from <a href="/about/outside/">outside legal counsel and
|
||||
contractors</a>.</p>
|
||||
organization incorporated in New York. Software Freedom Conservancy helps
|
||||
promote, improve, develop, and defend Free, Libre, and Open Source Software
|
||||
(FLOSS) projects. Conservancy provides a non-profit home and infrastructure
|
||||
for FLOSS projects. This allows FLOSS developers to focus on what they do
|
||||
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>, <a href="/about/officers">officers</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

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>
