<p>If you wish to let us know about a source code candidate (corresponding or not!) that you'd like us to take a look at, and possibly include in the list below, please upload the candidate to us using <a href="https://usl-upload.sfconservancy.org/s/4Ykmx7rSGMJ7s43">this form</a> and then email us at <a href="mailto:compliance@sfconservancy.org">compliance@sfconservancy.org</a> with the filename and any other information you have about the candidate. There are many other ways you can help, regardless of whether you're a developer or not - see our <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/help.html">Help Defend Software Freedom and Rights</a> page for details!</p> <p>One crucial way to get involved is to let us know about any source candidates you find! Many devices have an offer for source code (check the manual or device's user interface to find it) and we'd be very interested to know what they send you when you request it. Here are the steps to submit a new source candidate to list on this page:</p>
<ol class="pl4">
<li class="mb2">find a source candidate offered by a company - this MUST be included in the box, or received from a company after checking an offer (sorry, no random GitHub pages - the company needs to deliver the candidate with the product or via an offer)</li>
<li class="mb2"><a href="https://usl-upload.sfconservancy.org/s/4Ykmx7rSGMJ7s43">upload the source candidate</a> to us - write down the file name(s) you uploaded for the next step (can be multiple), and upload a firmware image if you have it and are ok with us publishing it</li>
<li class="mb2">email us at <a href="mailto:compliance@sfconservancy.org">compliance@sfconservancy.org</a> with the following details:
<div class="bg-black-10 mt2 pv2 ph3">
<code>
Subject: candidate to add: [brand/model]<br><br>
manufacturer/brand of device:<br>
model number of device:<br>
version number of software on device (if applicable):<br>
filename(s) of source candidate:<br>
filename(s) of firmware image (if applicable):<br>
how the firmware image was acquired (if applicable): [direct from device? download page URL?]<br>
text of the offer for source (usually required): [write it out, or attach a screenshot/picture]<br>
where the source or offer for source was found: [manual in box? CD? web page adjacent to firmware download?]<br>
</code>
</div>
</li>
<li class="mb2">wait :) we will respond and/or post your candidate here</li>
