<h1>GPL Compliance Project for Linux Developers</h1>
<p>The GPL Compliance Project for Linux Developers is comprised of copyright
holders in the kernel, Linux, who have contributed to Linux under its
license, <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html">the
GPLv2</a>. These copyright holders have formally asked Conservancy to engage
in compliance efforts for their copyrights in the Linux kernel.</p>
<p>Historically, Conservancy was well-known for its ongoing license
compliance efforts on behalf of its BusyBox member project. In May
2012, <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/news/2012/may/29/compliance/">Conservancy
announced a coordinated compliance effort</a> on behalf of its BusyBox and
Samba projects, and also launched this unique project, called the <cite>GPL
Compliance Project for Linux Developers</cite>, which handles compliance and
enforcement activities on behalf of more than a dozen Linux copyright
holders.</p>
<p>Conservancy's GPL Compliance Project is run in a collaborative manner with
the project developers. All copyright holders involved have the opportunity
to give input and guidance on Conservancy's strategy in dealing with
compliance issues. Thus, all Conservancy's compliance matter have full
support of relevant copyright holders.</p>
<p>Conservancy is dedicated to encouraging all users of software to comply
with Free Software licenses. Toward this goal, in its compliance efforts,
Conservancy helps distributors of Free Software in a friendly spirit of
cooperation and participation.</p>
<p>Those who are interested in how Conservancy handles GPL enforcement and
compliance work should read in
detail <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2012/feb/01/gpl-enforcement/">our
blog post outlining the process.</p>
<p>If you are aware of a license violation or compliance issue regarding
Linux, or
any <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/members/current/">Conservancy member
project</a> (and in particular BusyBox, Evergreen, Inkscape, Mercurial,
Samba, Sugar Labs, or Wine),
please <a href="mailto:compliance@sfconservancy.org">contact us by email at
&lt;compliance@sfconservancy.org&gt;</a></p>
