-Server Configuration
-====================
 
-conservancy's webserver runs on a machine called
-dogwood.sfconservancy.org, which is a standard Debian installation.
+## Server configuration
 
-The following packages are installed to make Django and Apache work on a
-squeeze install:
-
-    $ aptitude install python-django apache2 sqlite3 python2.5-sqlite libapache2-mod-python
+Conservancy's webserver runs on a standard Debian installation. For
+configuration requirements, see `deploy/install.yml`.
 
 
+## CDN
 
-Django Setup
-============
+Requests to any URL starting with `/videos/` are forwarded to our CDN server to
+reduce bandwidth use. These files are uploaded to the CDN manually via the
+Rackspace API. Note that the Apache rewrite rule requires that the file **not
+exist** on disk for the redirect to be applied.
 
-0. Make sure the Python module 'djangopw', with the global variable
-   'djangoadmin_password' is somewhere importable in the default
-   PYTHON_PATH.
+
+## Local development
+
+Python dependencies in `requirements.txt` are tied to the versions available in
+Debian:
+
+    python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+To run the tests, install `pytest-django` and run pytest:
+
+    python3 -m pip install pytest-django
+    python3 -m pytest
+
+Then run:
+
+    python3 manage.py migrate
+    python3 manage.py runserver
+
+There is also a Dockerfile available if that's more convenient. See that file
+for details.
+
+
+## Deploying
+
+To deploy, run `./bin/deploy` on your local machine.
+
+Note that the `./bin/deploy` script will requires proper SSH access to the
+`debian` (default) user SFC's webserver, `hickory.sfconservancy.org`.  Your
+local user on your own local machine will also need push access permission to
+this repository on the Git server (which was `f.sfconservancy.org` at the
+time of writing these instructions).
+
+
+## Link checking
+
+To check for broken links in production, run:
+
+    bin/linkcheck
+
+Note that the Apache configuration has a significant number of aliases and
+redirects for historic URL changes which means that linkchecker may not run
+cleanly in local development.

+    Copyright Assignment Agreement
+
+    By checking the box below and submitting this form, you (``Assignor'') enter
+    into this Agreement between Assignor and the Software Freedom Conservancy,
+    Inc., a New York nonprofit corporation located in Brooklyn, New York, which
+    has received recognition of exemption from federal income tax under Section
+    501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and classification as a public
+    charity (the ``Conservancy'').
+
+    For good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby
+    acknowledged, Assignor hereby transfers to the Conservancy their entire
+    right, title, and interest in the copyrights in the works identified by the
+    repositories, email addresses, names, and time periods listed above (the
+    “Works”), including all claims, causes of action and remedies for past,
+    present and future infringement. To the extent that the Assignor is
+    assigning future rights, and the rights in future works do not vest in
+    Conservancy upon the Works’ creation, Assignor agrees to assign, immediately
+    following the creation, all rights to Conservancy and irrevocably appoints
+    Conservancy as their attorney-in-fact to take any necessary steps to perfect
+    Conservancy’s rights under this Agreement.
+
+    The Conservancy will use its discretion for any relicensing of the Works
+    under other free and open source software licenses. Decisions about
+    relicensing made by Conservancy will apply to its assignees and successors.
+    If you have any questions about Conservancy's relicensing philosophy, and
+    what limitations it may have because it is a public charity, please contact
+    us at copyright-assignment@sfconservancy.org .
+
+    The Conservancy hereby grants Assignor a royalty-free non-exclusive license
+    to use the interests assigned hereunder for any purpose. The Conservancy's
+    rights shall otherwise continue unchanged.
+
+    Assignor hereby grants to the Conservancy and to recipients of software
+    distributed by the Conservancy a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive,
+    no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable patent license to make, have made,
+    use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Works, where
+    such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by Assignor
+    that are necessarily infringed by the Works alone or by combination of
+    Assignor's contributions with the Works to which such contributions were
+    submitted.
+
+    Assignor hereby represents and warrants that the email addresses and user
+    identities identified above are unique to the Assignor, that no one but the
+    Assignor has made contributions using the email addresses and user
+    identities identified above, that the Assignor is the sole copyright holder
+    for the Works assigned hereunder, and that the Assignor has the right and
+    power to enter into this contract. Assignor hereby indemnifies and holds
+    harmless the Conservancy, its officers, employees, agents, successors, and
+    assigns against any and all claims, actions or damages (including reasonable
+    attorney's fees) asserted by or paid to any party on account of a breach or
+    alleged breach of the foregoing warranty. Assignor makes no other express or
+    implied warranty (including without limitation any warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE).""")

+<h1>Give Up GitHub!</h1>
+
+<p>Since June 2022,
+  we <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2022/jun/30/give-up-github-launch/">have been
+encouraging and help FOSS developers</a> to <strong>give up on
+GitHub</strong>! </p>
+
+<div class="picture-small right">
+<img src="{% static 'img/GiveUpGitHub.svg' %}" alt="GitHub so-called “Octocat” logo/mascot in one tentacle holds 💰. Six other tentacles form a cage for the words “USER RIGHTS” — which are set in blue stone but are crumbling under the force of the tentacles. The final tentacle reaches out with an open palm — presuambly to collect even more rights & money from its users."/>
+</div>
+<p>We realize this is not an easy task; GitHub is ubiquitous. Through their
+effective marketing, GitHub has convinced Free and Open Source Software
+  (<abbr>FOSS</abbr>) developers that GitHub is the best (and even the only) place for FOSS
+development.  However, as a proprietary, trade-secret tool, GitHub itself is
+the very opposite of FOSS.  By contrast, Git was
+designed <a href="http://www.h-online.com/open/features/The-saga-of-Git-Lightning-does-strike-twice-1051559.html">specifically
+to replace a proprietary tool (BitKeeper)</a>, and to make FOSS development
+distributed &mdash; using FOSS tools and without a centralized site.  GitHub
+has distorted Git &mdash; creating add-on features that turn a distributed,
+egalitarian, and FOSS system into a centralized, proprietary site.  And, all
+those add-on features are controlled by a single, for-profit company &mdash; Microsoft. By
+staying on GitHub, established FOSS communities bring newcomers to this
+proprietary platform &mdash; expanding GitHub's reach. and limiting the
+imaginations of the next generation of FOSS developers.</p>
+
+<p>We know that many rely on GitHub every day.  Giving up a ubiquitous,
+gratis service that has useful (albeit proprietary) features remains perennially
+difficult.  For software developers, giving up GitHub will be even harder
+than giving up Facebook and Twitter/X!  We don't blame anyone who struggles, but hope you
+will read the reasons and methods below to give up GitHub and join us in
+seeking better alternatives!</p>
+
+<h2>Why Give Up GitHub?</h2>
+
+<p>There are so many reasons to give up on GitHub, but we list here a few of
+the most important ones:
+
+    <ul>
+    <li><p>Microsoft has escalated the incorporation of its for-profit
+    <a href="https://github.com/features/copilot" rel="nofollow">Copilot
+    product</a>.  The Copilot banner now incorporates many different, proprietary,
+      so-called &ldquo;Artificial Intelligence&rdquo; (<abbr>AI</abbr>)
+    products.  However, the first Copilot product was designed
+    to automatically generate code interactively for developers, and that
+    feature is still pushed on GitHub users.
+    Copilot's AI model was trained
+    (<a href="https://github.blog/2021-06-30-github-copilot-research-recitation/"
+    rel="nofollow">according to GitHub's own statements</a>) exclusively with
+    projects that were hosted on GitHub, including many licensed
+    under <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/glossary.html#copyleft">copyleft</a>
+    licenses.  (Microsoft even admits that there was one document that they
+    encountered (and ignored) <q>a whopping 700,000 different times during
+    training &mdash; &hellip; the GNU General Public License</q>.</p>
+ 
+    <p>Most of those projects are not in the &ldquo;public
+    domain&rdquo;, they are licensed
+    under <a href="https://opensource.org/licenses"><acronym title="Free and Open Source Software">FOSS</acronym> licenses</a>.  These licenses
+    have <em>requirements</em> including proper author attribution and, in
+    the case of <a href="https://copyleft.org/"><em>copyleft</em>
+    licenses</a>, they sometimes require that works based on and/or that
+    incorporate the software be licensed under the same copyleft license as
+    the prior work. Microsoft and GitHub have been ignoring these license
+    requirements for more than a year.  Their only defense of these
+    actions <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210709181805/https://twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1409914420579344385">was
+    a still-unretracted statement by their former CEO</a>, in which he falsely claims that
+    unsettled law on this topic is actually settled. In addition to the legal
+    issues,
+    the <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2022/feb/03/github-copilot-copyleft-gpl/">ethical
+    implications of GitHub's choice to use copylefted code</a> in the service
+        of creating proprietary software are grave.</p> </li>
+
+<li>Along with the crescendo of &ldquo;AI&rdquo; ballyhoo, Microsoft has rolled out more
+  products that include these technologies into GitHub.  Microsoft's Copilot
+  is <a href="https://mastodon.social/@glyph/114995950245874315">now
+  generating issues and pull requests and GitHub users <strong>cannot opt
+  out</strong></a>.  This use is unconscionable and is reason enough alone
+  to <cite>Give Up GitHub</cite>.  Microsoft shamelessly promotes this
+  force-feeding of these dubious technologies to all GitHub users; so much so
+  that
+  Microsoft <a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2025/github-will-join-microsofts-coreai-group-with-departure-of-ceo-thomas-dohmke/">fully
+  incorporated GitHub to be a mere division of its &ldquo;CoreAI&rdquo;
+  division</a>.  GitHub users and their work are (sadly) willingly-offered input
+  to that division's work!</li>
+
+    <li id="ICE-contract-details"><p>In 2020, the community discovered that
+GitHub <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/01/ice-contract-github-sparks-developer-protests/604339/">has
+a for-profit software services contract with the USA Immigration and Customs
+Enforcement (ICE)</a>.  Activists, including some GitHub employees, have been
+calling on GitHub for two years to cancel that contract.  GitHub's primary
+reply has been that their parent company, Microsoft, has sold Microsoft Word
+for years to ICE without any public complaints.  They claim that this somehow
+justifies <em>even more</em> business with an agency whose policies are
+problematic.  Regardless of your views on ICE and its behavior, GitHub's
+        ongoing <a href="https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2020-06-12/github-ceo-black-lives-matter-employees-demand-end-ice-contract">dismissive and disingenuous</a> responses to the activists who raised this important issue show that GitHub puts its profits above concerns from the community.</p></li>
+
+<li><p>While GitHub pretends to be pro-FOSS
+  (like <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/17822/">SourceForge before
+    them</a>), their entire hosting site is, itself, proprietary and/or
+  trade-secret software.  We appreciate that GitHub allows some of its
+  employees to sometimes contribute FOSS to upstream projects, but our
+  community has been burned so many times before by companies that claim to
+  support FOSS, while actively convincing the community to rely on their
+    proprietary software.  We shouldn't let GitHub burn us in this same way!</p></li>
+
+<li><p>GitHub differs from most of its peers in the FOSS project hosting
+industry, as GitHub does not even offer any self-hosting FOSS option.
+Their <em>entire</em> codebase is secret.  For example, while we have our
+complaints about GitLab's business model of parallel &ldquo;Community&rdquo;
+and &ldquo;Enterprise&rdquo; editions, at least GitLab's Community Edition
+provides basic functionality for self-hosting and is 100% FOSS. Meanwhile,
+    there are <em>non-profit</em> FOSS hosting sites such
+as <a href="https://codeberg.org">Codeberg</a>, who develop their platform
+    publicly as FOSS.</p></li>
+
+<li><p>GitHub has long sought to discredit copyleft generally.  Their various
+CEOs have often spoken loudly and negatively about copyleft, including their
+founder (and former CEO)
+devoting <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bAAlPXB2-c">his OSCON
+keynote on attacking copyleft and the GPL</a>.  This trickled down from the
+top.  We've personally observed various GitHub employees over the years
+arguing in many venues to convince projects to avoid copyleft;
+we've <a href="https://github.com/BenKallos/legislation/issues/2#issue-46911010">even
+seen a GitHub employee do this in a GitHub bug ticket directly</a>.</p>
+
+</li>
+
+    <li><p>GitHub is now fully part of Microsoft &mdash; a company whose
+    executives have historically repeatedly attacked copyleft licensing
+    &mdash; ongoing regularly since 2001.</p></li>
+    </ul>
+
+<h2>How Do I Give Up GitHub?</h2>
+
+<p>The reason that it's difficult to leave GitHub is a side-effect of one of
+the reasons to leave them: proprietary vendor lock-in.  We are aware that
+GitHub, as the &ldquo;Facebook of software development&rdquo;, has succeeded
+in creating the most enticing walled garden ever made for FOSS developers.
+Just like leaving Facebook is painful because you're unsure how you'll find
+and talk with your friends and family otherwise &mdash; leaving GitHub is
+difficult because it's how you find and collaborate with
+co-developers. GitHub may even be how you find and showcase your work to
+prospective employers.  We also know that some Computer Science programs
+even <em>require</em> students to use GitHub.</p>
+
+<div class="picture-small left">
+<img src="https://sfconservancy.org/img/GiveUpGitHub.svg" alt="A parody of the GitHub logo, walling off user rights and demanding payment"/>
+</div>
+
+<p>Accordingly, we call first on the most comfortably-situated developers
+among you &mdash; leaders of key FOSS projects, hiring and engineering
+managers, and developers who are secure in their employment &mdash; to take
+the first step to reject GitHub's proprietary services.  We recognize that
+for new developers in the field, you'll receive pressure from potential
+employers (even those that will otherwise employ you to develop FOSS) to
+participate on GitHub.  Collective action requires the privileged developers
+among us to lead by example; that's why we're not merely asking you leave
+GitHub, but we're spearheading an effort to help everyone give up GitHub over
+the long term. You can help protect newcomers from the intrinsic power
+imbalance created by GitHub by setting the agenda for your FOSS project and
+hosting your project elsewhere.</p>
+
+<p>As such, we're speaking first to the hiring managers, community leaders,
+and those in other positions of power that encourage the use of GitHub to new
+contributors and existing communities. Once someone in power makes the choice
+to host a project on GitHub, the individual contributors have little choice
+but to use these proprietary and damaging products. If you are making
+decisions or have political power within your community and/or employer, we
+urge you to use your power to center community efforts through FOSS platforms
+rather than GitHub.  If you're an individual contributor who feels powerless
+to leave GitHub, read our (growing) list of recommendations below on how to
+take the first steps.</p>
+
+<p>Long term, we've been maintaining this stable URL (that can always be reached
+by <a href="https://GiveUpGitHub.org">GiveUpGitHub.org</a>) to include links
+to resources to help everyone &mdash; from the most privileged developer to
+newcomers and members of underrepresented groups in FOSS &mdash; to give up
+on GitHub.  If you don't feel that you or your project can yet leave GitHub,
+we ask that you raise awareness
+by <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/docs/SupportGiveUpGitHub-README-snippet.md">adding
+this section to your README.md</a> to share your concerns about GitHub with
+your users.  If you're ready to leave GitHub, you
+can <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/docs/GiveUpGitHub-README.md">use this
+README.md template</a> to replace your current one.</p>

+      <p>Free software projects can't meaningfully exist without a place online to live, and can't thrive without tools for their contributors to communicate and collaborate. For over 18 years, Lance Albertson has devoted himself to providing this critically needed infrastructure for hundreds of free and open source projects through his work at [Oregon State University's Open Source Lab (OSUOSL)](https://osuosl.org/). Besides doing technical work to maintain and improve these services, he has selflessly mentored and supported generations of the Lab's students as they develop their own skills. Even prior to OSUOSL, he contributed to free software as a developer and package maintainer for Gentoo Linux.</p>
+
+    <p>SFC Community Organizer and Non-Profit Problem Solver Daniel Pono Takamori -- himself an OSUOSL alum -- presented the award on FOSSY's keynote stage, sharing, "Lance Albertson has helped the free and open source community in innumerable ways. Whether it's training and supporting students, helping them work with large open source projects and foundations, or just learning what it's like to work as part of a team in the open. Providing critical support for invaluable free software projects; infrastructure that without which we wouldn't have the robust ecosystem able to power today's modern technology stacks. I'm so proud and honored to be able to give this award to Lance."</p>

+           <h1>What We Do</h1>
+           <p>Software Freedom Conservancy is a nonprofit organization
+           centered around ethical technology. Our mission is to ensure the
+           right to repair, improve and reinstall software. We promote and
+           defend these rights through fostering free and open source
+           software (FOSS) projects, driving initiatives that actively make
+           technology more inclusive, and advancing policy strategies that
+             defend FOSS (such as copyleft).</p>
+
+           <p>Our work on <a href="/copyleft-compliance/">copyleft
+           compliance</a>, including enforcement of the General Public
+           License (GPL), is world-renowned.  We believe fundamentally that
+           copyleft licenses are the best tool available today to empower
+           users and consumers to take control of their electronic devices,
+           liberate themselves from planned obsolesce, and join a free market
+           where they choose who provides their software.</p>
+
+           <p>We also believe that FOSS functions best when built by a
+           egalitarian community in which hobbyists, volunteers, and
+           individuals stand on equal footing with companies and large
+           organizations.  Vendor neutrality is simply not enough &mdash; as
+           that merely makes companies equal to each other and leaves
+           hobbyists and volunteers out in the cold.  To foster FOSS creation
+           in this manner, we are the <a href="/projects/">non-profit home to
+           dozens of member projects and initiatives</a> whom we assist to
+           remain transparent and prioritize the public good in their
+           development of FOSS.</p>
+
+           <p>Furthermore, diversity and inclusion is a critical component to
+           egalitarian FOSS communities.  We acknowledge that FOSS
+           communities historically have struggled on these fronts and the
+           myth of &ldquo;pure meritocracy&rdquo; so popular in FOSS circles
+           willfully ignores the systemic biases in our societies and
+           cultures.  We are thus the proud home of
+           the <a href="https://outreachy.org/">Outreachy initiative</a> that
+           offers paid internships in FOSS for contributors who have faced
+           systemic bias in their efforts to join the FOSS community.</p>

+        <p>This is the first wireless Internet router designed and built with your software freedom and right to repair in mind.  The OpenWrt One will never be locked down and is forever unbrickable.  This device services <strong>your</strong> needs as its owner and user.  Everyone deserves control of their computing.  The OpenWrt One takes a great first step toward bringing software rights to your home: you can control your own network with the software of your choice, and ensure your right to change, modify, and repair it as you like.</p>
+
+        <p>The OpenWrt One demonstrates what's possible when hardware designers and manufacturers prioritize your software right to repair; OpenWrt One exuberantly follows these requirements of the copyleft licenses of Linux and other GPL'd programs.  This device provides the fully copyleft-compliant source code release from the start.  Device owners have all the rights as intended on Day 1; device owners are encouraged to take full advantage of these rights to improve and repair the software on their OpenWrt One.</p>
+
+        <p>Priced starting at US$83 for a complete OpenWrt One with case, it's ready for a wide variety of use cases.  Manufactured in collaboration with Banana Pi, the OpenWrt One uses the MediaTek MT7981B SoC, with MT7976C wifi, 1 GiB DDR4 RAM, 128 MiB SPI NAND + 4 MiB SPI NOR flash, two Ethernet ports (2.5 GbE and 1 GbE), a USB host port, M.2 2042 for NVMe SSD or similar devices, and mikroBUS expansion header.  The OpenWrt offers both PoE (Power over Ethernet) via the 2.5 GbE port , or direct power via the USB-C power port with 12V USB-PD.  A convenient USB serial interface is built into the other USB-C port: expert users won't miss any boot messages!  This hacker-friendly device is unbrickable, providing a switch to separately flash the NOR and NAND portions of the flash memory.</p>

+<h1 id="ourwork">Conservancy's Copyleft Compliance Projects</h1>
+
+<p>As existing donors and sustainers know, the Software Freedom Conservancy
+  is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity registered in New York, and Conservancy
+  helps people take control of their computing by growing the software
+  freedom movement, supporting community-driven alternatives to proprietary
+  software, and defending free software with practical initiatives.
+  Conservancy accomplishes these goals with various initiatives, including
+  defending and upholding the rights of software users and consumers under
+  copyleft licenses, such as the GPL.</p>
+
+<p>Free and open source software (FOSS) is everywhere and in everything; yet
+our software freedom is constantly eroded.  With the help of its
+volunteers, <a href="/members/current/">member projects</a>,
+and <a href="/about/staff/">staff</a>, Conservancy stands up for users'
+software freedom via its copyleft compliance work.</p>
+
+<p>Conservancy's primary work in copyleft compliance currently focuses on
+our <a href="/copyleft-compliance/enforcement-strategy.html">Strategic GPL
+Enforcement Initiative</a>.  This initiative, <a href="/news/2020/oct/01/new-copyleft-strategy-launched-with-ARDC-grant/">launched in October 2020</a>,
+represents the culmination of nearly 15 years of compliance work of
+Conservancy spanning ten different fiscally sponsored projects, past lawsuits
+against more than a dozen defendants, and hundreds of non-litigation
+compliance actions.</p>
+
+<p>For these many years, Conservancy has always given the benefit of the
+  doubt to companies who exploited our good nature and ultimately simply
+  ignore the rights of users and consumers.  In that time, the compliance
+  industrial complex has risen to a multi-million-dollar industry &mdash;
+  selling (mostly proprietary) products, services, and consulting to
+  companies.  Yet, these compliance efforts ignore consistently the most
+  essential promise of copyleft &mdash; the complete, Corresponding Source
+  and &ldquo;the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the
+  executable&rdquo;.</p>
+
+<p>We encourage our sustainers and software freedom enthusiasts everywhere to
+  <a href="/copyleft-compliance/enforcement-strategy.html">read our detailed
+  strategic plan for GPL enforcement</a> and its companion
+  project, <a href="/copyleft-compliance/firmware-liberation.html">our
+    Firmware Liberation Project</a>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="projects">Compliance Relationship to Fiscally Sponsored Projects</h2>
+
+<p>Historically, Conservancy was well-known for its ongoing license
+compliance efforts on behalf of its BusyBox member project.  Today,
+Conservancy does semi-regular compliance work for its BusyBox, Git, Inkscape,
+Mercurial, Samba, QEMU and Wine member projects.  If you are a copyright
+holder in any member project of Conservancy, please contact the project's
+leadership committtee,
+via <a href="mailto:PROJECTNAME@sfconservancy.org">&lt;PROJECTNAME@sfconservancy.org&gt;</a>
+for more information on getting involved in compliance efforts in that
+project.
+</p>
+
+<h2 id="linux">GPL Compliance Project For Linux Developers</h2>
+
+<p>In May
+2012, <a href="/news/2012/may/29/compliance/">Conservancy
+launched</a> 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>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.  In addition,
+some developers have directly assigned their copyrights on Linux to Conservancy,
+so Conservancy also enforces the GPL on Linux via its own copyrights in Linux.</p>
+
+<p>Linux copyright holders who wish to assign copyright to or sign an enforcement agreement with
+Conservancy should
+  contact <a href="mailto:linux-services@sfconservancy.org">&lt;linux-services@sfconservancy.org&gt;</a>.
+  In 2016,
+  Conservancy <a href="/news/2016/nov/03/linux-compliance-agreements/">made
+    public the template agreements used as part of this project</a>; both the
+  <a href="/docs/blank_linux-enforcement-agreement.pdf">non-anonymous</a> and
+  <a href="/docs/blank_anonymous-linux-enforcement-agreement.pdf">anonymous</a>
+  versions are available.  However, please <strong>do not</strong> sign these
+  unilaterally without contacting and discussing
+  with <a href="mailto:linux-services@sfconservancy.org">&lt;linux-services@sfconservancy.org&gt;</a>
+  first.</p>
+
+<h2 id="debian">The Debian Copyright Aggregation Project</h2>
+
+<p>In August 2015, <a href="/news/2015/aug/17/debian/">Conservancy announced the Debian Copyright Aggregation
+Project</a>.  This project allows Debian contributors to assign copyrights to
+Conservancy, or sign enforcement agreements allowing Conservancy to enforce
+Free and Open Source (FOSS) licenses on their behalf.  Many Debian contributors
+have chosen each of these options already, and more continue to join.</p>
+
+<p>Debian contributors who wish to assign copyright to or sign an enforcement agreement with
+Conservancy should contact <a href="mailto:debian-services@sfconservancy.org">&lt;debian-services@sfconservancy.org&gt;</a>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="commitment">Conservancy's Commitment to Copyleft License Compliance</h2>
+
+<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.  In this spirit, Conservancy has co-published,
+  with the Free Software Foundation (FSF), <a href="/copyleft-compliance/principles.html">the principles that both organizations
+  follow in their compliance efforts</a>.

+<p>We are pleased to be able to share with you the complaint and final court decision in <a href="/news/2025/jan/09/avm-copyleft-lawsuit-resolved-with-install/">the SFC-funded lawsuit against router manufacturer AVM</a>, in both their original German, and in an English version translated by a dispassionate legal document translator, hired by SFC.  The German legal system does not make court dockets public by default, so we are limited in what we can publish.  We encourage AVM to publish the filings written by its own lawyers, for greater transparency.  We understand, for example, that (happily) AVM chose to provide "the scripts used to control ... installation of the library" prior to the final court decision.  (Documents in AVM's possession, which are not by default public under the German legal system, would confirm that.)  We will post any updates that AVM provides to us here.</p>
+
+<p>Here are the complaint, including relevant exhibits, and final court decision of this case:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Complaint (<a href="/static/docs/avm-Complaint_Klageschrift_DE.pdf">German</a>) (<a href="/static/docs/avm-Complaint_Klageschrift_EN.pdf">unofficial English</a>)</li>
+<ul>
+<li>Exhibit K1 (<a href="/static/docs/avm-Exhibit_Anlage_K1_DE.pdf">German</a>) (<a href="/static/docs/avm-Exhibit_Anlage_K1_EN.pdf">unofficial English</a>)</li>
+<li>Exhibit K4 (<a href="/static/docs/avm-Exhibit_Anlage_K4_DE.pdf">German</a>) (<a href="/static/docs/avm-Exhibit_Anlage_K4_EN.pdf">unofficial English</a>)</li>
+<li>Exhibit K5 (<a href="/static/docs/avm-Exhibit_Anlage_K5_DE.pdf">German</a>) (<a href="/static/docs/avm-Exhibit_Anlage_K5_EN.pdf">unofficial English</a>)</li>
+<li>Exhibit K10 (<a href="/static/docs/avm-Exhibit_Anlage_K10_DE.pdf">German</a>) (<a href="/static/docs/avm-Exhibit_Anlage_K10_EN.pdf">unofficial English</a>)</li>
+</ul>
+<li>Decision (<a href="/static/docs/avm-Decision_Beschluss_DE.pdf">German</a>) (<a href="/static/docs/avm-Decision_Beschluss_EN.pdf">unofficial English</a>)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>We are also publishing the source code candidates that AVM provided along the path to the final resolution of this case, which we have put in SFC's <a href="/usethesource/">Use The Source</a> repository of source code candidates, for the public to discuss and benefit from.  Note that these differ from the source code candidate(s) on AVM's website, since AVM has chosen not to publish "the scripts used to control ... installation of the library" there, and instead provided them only to Sebastian Steck, the plaintiff in this lawsuit.  Steck wants these scripts published, and they are part of the complete source code, meaning that LGPLv2.1 requires them to be redistributable, so we are redistributing them now for everyone to use.</p>
+
+<p>Here are the source code candidates from each stage of Steck's enforcement efforts:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="/usethesource/candidate/avm-fritzbox-4020-683-round-1-of-n/">Round 1 source candidate</a>: first source candidate AVM provided, in response to source request</li>
+<li><a href="/usethesource/candidate/avm-fritzbox-4020-683-round-2-of-n/">Round 2 source candidate</a>: last source candidate AVM provided before lawsuit was filed</li>
+<li><a href="/usethesource/candidate/avm-fritzbox-4020-683-round-3-of-n/">Round 3 source candidate</a>: source candidate complying with LGPLv2.1, ending the lawsuit</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The lawsuit itself focused only on the rights under LGPLv2.1.  Sadly, AVM has still not provided Steck or SFC with "the scripts used to control ... installation of the program" for works under GPLv2 in AVM's firmware image, such as Linux, which it still distributes today.  We implore AVM to comply with all copyleft agreements they use, and will continue to pursue this enforcement action just as we continue to pursue dozens of other enforcement actions.</p>

+<h1 id="strategic-gpl-enforcement-initiative">The Strategic GPL Enforcement Initiative</h1>
+
+<p>As existing donors and sustainers know, the Software Freedom Conservancy
+  is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity registered in New York, and Conservancy
+  helps people take control of their computing by growing the software
+  freedom movement, supporting community-driven alternatives to proprietary
+  software, and defending free software with practical initiatives.
+  Conservancy accomplishes these goals with various initiatives, including
+  defending and upholding the rights of software users and consumers under
+  copyleft licenses, such as the <acronym title="General Public License">GPL</acronym>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="brief-history-of-user-focused-gpl-enforcement">Brief History of
+  User-Focused GPL Enforcement</h2>
+
+<p>The spring of 2003 was a watershed moment for software freedom on
+  electronic devices. 802.11 wireless technology had finally reached the
+  mainstream, and wireless routers for home use had flooded the market
+  earlier in the year. By June
+  2003, <a href="https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/03/06/08/1749217/is-linksys-violating-the-GPL">the
+  general public knew that Linksys (a division of Cisco) was violating the
+  GPL</a> on their WRT54G model wireless routers. Hobbyists discovered
+  (rather easily) that Linux and BusyBox were included in the router, but
+  Linksys and Cisco had failed to provide source code or any offer for source
+  code to its customers.</p>
+
+<p>A coalition formed made up of organizations and individuals — including
+  Erik Andersen (major contributor to and former leader of the BusyBox
+  project) and Harald Welte (major contributor to Linux’s netfilter
+  subsystem) — to enforce the
+  GPL. <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/about/staff/#bkuhn">Bradley
+  M. K&uuml;hn</a>, who is now Conservancy’s Policy Fellow and
+  Hacker-in-Residence, led and coordinated that coalition (when he was
+  Executive Director of the <acronym title="Free Software Foundation">FSF</acronym>). By early 2004, this coalition, through the
+  process of GPL enforcement, compelled Linksys to release an
+  almost-GPL-compliant source release for the
+  WRT54G. A <a href="https://openwrt.org/about/history">group of volunteers
+  quickly built a new project, called OpenWrt</a> based on that source
+  release. In the years that have followed, OpenWrt has been ported to almost
+  every major wireless router product.  Now, more than 15 years later, the
+  OpenWrt project routinely utilizes GPL source releases to build, improve
+  and port OpenWrt.  The project has also joined coalitions to fight the FCC
+  to ensure that consumers have and deserve rights to install modified
+  firmwares on their devices and that such hobbyist improvements are no
+  threat to spectrum regulation.</p>
+
+<p>Recently, <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/news/2020/sep/10/openwrt-joins/">OpenWrt joined Conservancy as one its member projects</a>,
+  and Conservancy has committed to long-term assistance to this project.</p>
+
+<p>OpenWrt has spurred companies to create better routers and other wireless
+  devices than such companies would otherwise have designed because they now need to
+  either compete with hobbyists, or (better still) cooperate with those hobbyists to
+  create hardware that fully supports OpenWrt’s features and improvements
+  (such as dealing
+  with <a href="https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/sqm">the
+  dreaded “bufferbloat” bugs</a>). This interplay between the hobbyist
+  community and for-profit ventures promotes innovation in
+  technology. Without both permission <em>and</em> the ability to build and
+  modify the software on their devices, the hobbyist community
+  shrinks. Without intervention to ensure companies respect the hobbyist
+  community, hobbyists are limited by the oft-arbitrary manufacturer-imposed
+  restraints in the OEM firmware. OpenWrt saved the wireless router market
+  from this disaster; we seek to help other embedded electronic subindustries
+  avoid that fate. The authors of GPL’d software chose that license so its
+  source is usable and readily available to hobbyists. It is our duty, as
+  activists for the software freedom of hobbyists, to ensure these legally
+  mandated rights are never curtailed.</p>
+
+<p>(More on the OpenWrt project’s history and its connection to GPL
+  enforcement can be found
+  in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4lCMx-EI1s">K&uuml;hn’s talk
+    at <em>OpenWrt Summit 2016</em></a>.)</p>
+
+<p>Conservancy has had substantial success in leveraging more device freedom
+  in other subindustries through GPL compliance. In 2009, Conservancy, with
+  co-Plaintiff Erik Andersen, sued fourteen defendants in federal court under
+  copyright claims on behalf of its BusyBox member project. Conservancy
+  achieved compliance for the BusyBox project in all fourteen
+  cases. Most notably, the GPL-compliant source release obtained in the
+  lawsuit for certain Samsung televisions provided the basis for
+  the <a href="https://www.samygo.tv/">SamyGo project</a> — an alternative
+  firmware that works on that era of Samsung televisions and allows consumers
+  to modify and upgrade their firmware using FOSS.</p>
+
+<p>Harald Welte also continued his efforts during the early and mid-2000s,
+  after the Linksys enforcement, through
+  his <a href="https://gpl-violations.org/">gpl-violations.org
+    project</a>. Harald successfully sued many companies (mostly in the
+  wireless router industry) in Germany to achieve compliance and yield source
+  releases that helped OpenWrt during that period.</p>
+
+<h2 id="importance-of-linux-enforcement-specifically">Importance of Linux Enforcement Specifically</h2>
+
+<p>In recent years, embedded systems technology has expanded beyond wireless
+  routers to so-called “Internet of Things” (IoT) devices designed for
+  connectivity with other devices in the home and to the “Cloud”. Consumer
+  electronics companies now feature and differentiate products based on
+  Internet connectivity and related services. Conservancy has seen
+  Linux-based firmwares on refrigerators, baby monitors, virtual assistants,
+  soundbars, doorbells, home security cameras, police body cameras, cars, AV
+  receivers, and televisions.</p>
+
+<p>This wide deployment of general purpose computers into
+  mundane household devices raises profound privacy and consumer rights
+  implications. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/15/us/Hacked-ring-home-security-cameras.html">Home</a> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/01/23/family-says-hacked-nest-camera-warned-them-north-korean-missile-attack/">security</a> <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/06/05/617196788/s-c-mom-says-baby-monitor-was-hacked-experts-say-many-devices-are-vulnerable">cameras</a> <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/12/tech/ring-security-camera-hacker-harassed-girl-trnd/index.html">are</a> <a href="https://abc7.com/baby-monitor-hack-leads-to-kidnap-scare/4931822/">routinely</a> <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-44117337/security-footage-viewed-by-thousands">compromised</a>
+  — invading the privacy and security of individual homes. Even when
+  companies succeed in keeping out third parties, consumers
+  are <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/aug/29/ring-amazon-police-partnership-social-media-neighbor">pressured
+  by camera makers</a> to automatically upload their videos to local
+  police. Televisions
+  routinely <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/07/vizio-settlement-moves-forward/">spy
+  on consumers for the purposes of marketing and massive data
+  collection</a>.</p>
+
+<p>There is one overarching irony to this growing dystopia: nearly all these
+  devices are based primarily on GPL'd software: most
+  notably, Linux. While Linux-based systems do allow proprietary user-space
+  applications (i.e., not licensed under GPL), the kernel and many other system
+  utilities routinely used in embedded systems, such as Conservancy’s BusyBox
+  project, are under that license (or similar copyleft licenses such as the
+  LGPL). These licenses require device makers to provide complete,
+  corresponding source code to everyone in possession of their
+  devices. Furthermore, Linux’s specific license (GPL, version 2), mandates
+  that source code must also include “the scripts used to control compilation
+  and installation of the executable”. In short, the consumers must receive
+  all the source code and the ability to modify, recompile and reinstall that
+  software. Upholding of this core freedom for Linux made OpenWrt
+  possible. We work to preserve (or, more often, restore) that software
+  freedom for consumers of other types of electronic devices.</p>
+
+<p>When devices are compliant with the GPL’s requirements, customers can
+  individually or collectively take action against the surveillance and other
+  predatory behavior perpetuated by the manufacturers of these devices by
+  modifying and replacing the software. Hobbyists can aid their community by
+  providing these alternatives. People with no technical background already
+  replace firmware on their wireless routers with OpenWrt to both improve
+  network performance and allay privacy concerns. Furthermore, older
+  equipment is often saved from planned obsolescence by alternative
+  solutions. E-recyclers
+  like <a href="https://www.freegeek.org/">Freegeek</a> do this regularly for
+  desktop and laptop machines with GNU/Linux distributions like Debian, and
+  with OpenWrt for wireless routers. We seek to ensure they can do this for
+  other types of electronic products. However, without the complete,
+  corresponding source code (CCS), including the scripts to control its compilation and
+  installation, the fundamental purpose of copyleft is frustrated. Consumers,
+  hobbyists, non-profit e-recyclers and the general public are left without
+  the necessary tools they need and deserve, and which the license promises
+  them.</p>
+
+<p>Additionally, copyleft compliance relates directly to significant
+  generational educational opportunities. There are few easier ways to
+  understand technology than to experiment with a device one already
+  has. Historically, FOSS has succeeded because young hobbyists could
+  examine, modify and experiment with software in their own devices. Those
+  hobbyists became the professional embedded device developers of today!
+  Theoretically, the advent of the “Internet of Things” — with its many
+  devices that run Linux — <em>should</em> give opportunities for young
+  hobbyists to quickly explore and improve the devices they depend on in
+  their every day lives.  Yet, that’s rarely possible in reality.  To ensure
+  that both current and future hobbyists can practically modify their
+  Linux-based devices, we must enforce Linux’s license. With public awareness
+  that their devices can be improved, the desire for learning will increase,
+  and will embolden the curiosity of newcomers of all ages and
+  backgrounds. The practical benefits of this virtuous cycle are immediately
+  apparent. With technological experimentation, people are encouraged to try
+  new things, learn how their devices work, and perhaps create whole new
+  types of devices and technologies that no one has even dreamed of
+  before.</p>
+
+<p>IoT firmware should never rely on one vendor — even the vendor of the
+  hardware itself. This centralized approach is brittle and inevitably leads
+  to invasions of the public’s privacy and loss of control of their
+  technology. Conservancy’s GPL enforcement work is part of the puzzle that
+  ensures users can choose who their devices connect to, and how they
+  connect. Everyone deserves control over their own computing — from their
+  laptop to their television to their toaster. When the public can modify (or
+  help others modify) the software on their devices, they choose the level of
+  centralized control they are comfortable with. Currently, users with
+  Linux-based devices usually don’t even realize what is possible with
+  copyleft; Conservancy aims to show them.</p>
+
+<h2 id="the-gpl-compliance-project-for-linux-developers">The GPL Compliance
+  Project for Linux Developers</h2>
+
+<p>In May 2012, Software Freedom Conservancy
+  formed <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/#linux">The GPL
+    Compliance Project for Linux Developers</a> in response to frustration by
+  upstream Linux developers about the prevalence of noncompliance in the
+  field, and their desire to stand with Conservancy’s BusyBox, Git and Samba
+  projects in demanding widespread GPL compliance. This coalition of Linux
+  developers works with Conservancy to enforce the GPL for the rights of
+  Linux users everywhere — particularly consumers who own electronic
+  devices. We accept violation reports from the general public, and
+  prioritize enforcement in those classes of devices where we believe that we
+  can do the most good to help achieve GPL compliance that will increase
+  software freedom for the maximum number of device users.</p>
+
+<h2 id="the-need-for-litigation">The Need for Litigation</h2>
+
+<p>While we still gain some success, we have found that the landscape of GPL
+  compliance has changed in recent years. Historically, the true “bad actors”
+  were rare. We found in the early days that mere education and basic
+  supply-chain coordination assistance yielded compliance. We sought and
+  often achieved goodwill in the industry via education-focused
+  compliance.</p>
+
+<p>Those tactics no longer succeed; the industry has taken advantage of that
+  goodwill. After the BusyBox lawsuit settled, we observed a slow move toward
+  intentional non-compliance throughout the embedded electronics
+  industry. Companies use delay and “hardball” pre-litigation tactics to
+  drain the limited resources available for enforcement, which we faced (for
+  example) in <a href="/copyleft-compliance/vmware-lawsuit-links.html">the
+  VMware violation</a>. While VMware ultimately complied with the GPL, they
+  did so by reengineering the product and removing Linux from it — and only
+  after the product was nearing end-of-life.</p>
+
+<p>Conservancy has recently completed an evaluation of the industry’s use of
+  Linux in embedded products. Our findings are disheartening and require
+  action.  Across the entire industry, most major manufacturers almost flaunt
+  their failure to comply with the GPL.  In our private negotiations,
+  pursuant to
+  our <a href="/copyleft-compliance/principles.html">Principles
+  of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement</a>, GPL violators stall, avoid,
+  delay and generally refuse to comply with the GPL. Their disdain for the
+  rights of their customers is often palpable.  Their attitude is almost
+  universal: <q>if you think we’re really violating the GPL, then go ahead and
+  sue us. Otherwise, you’re our lowest priority</q>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="conservancys-plan-for-action">Conservancy’s Plan For Action</h2>
+
+<p>Conservancy has a three-pronged plan for action: litigation, persistent
+  non-litigation enforcement, and alternative firmware development.</p>
+
+<h3 id="litigation">Litigation</h3>
+
+<p>Conservancy has many violation matters that we have pursued during the
+  last year where we expect compliance is impossible without litigation.  We
+  are poised to select — from among the many violations in the embedded
+  electronics space — a representative example and take action in USA courts
+  against a violator who has failed to properly provide source code
+  sufficient for consumers to rebuild and install Linux, and who still
+  refuses to remedy that error after substantial friendly negotiation with
+  Conservancy.</p>
+
+<p>Our goal remains the same as in all matters: we want a source release that
+  works, and we’ll end any litigation when the company fully complies on its
+  products and makes a bona fide commitment to future compliance.</p>
+
+<p>Conservancy, after years of analyzing its successes and failures of
+  previous GPL compliance litigation, has developed — in conjunction with
+  litigation counsel over the last year — new approaches to litigation
+  strategy.  We believe this will bring to fruition the promise of copyleft:
+  a license that ensures the rights and software freedoms of hobbyists who
+  seek full control and modifiability of devices they own. Conservancy plans
+  to accelerate these plans in late 2020 into early 2021 and we'll keep the
+  public informed at every stage of the process.</p>
+
+<h3 id="persistent-non-litigation-enforcement">Persistent Non-Litigation Enforcement</h3>
+
+<p>While we will seek damages to cover our reasonable costs of this work, we
+  do not expect that any recovery in litigation can fully fund the broad base
+  of work necessary to ensure compliance and the software freedom it brings.
+  Conservancy is the primary charitable watchdog of GPL compliance for
+  Linux-based devices.  We seek to use litigation as a tool in a broader
+  course of action to continue our work in this regard.  We expect and
+  welcome that the high profile nature of litigation will inspire more device
+  owners to report violations to us. We expect we’ll learn about classes of
+  devices we previously had no idea contained Linux, and we’ll begin our
+  diligent and unrelenting work to achieve software freedom for the owners of
+  those devices. We will also build more partnerships across the technology
+  sector and consumer rights organizations to highlight the benefit of
+  copyleft to not just hobbyists, but the entire general public.</p>
+
+<h3 id="alternative-firmware-project"><a href="/copyleft-compliance/firmware-liberation.html">Alternative Firmware Project</a></h3>
+
+<p>The success of the OpenWrt project, born from GPL enforcement, has an
+  important component. While we’ve long hoped that volunteers, as they did
+  with OpenWrt and SamyGo, will take up compliant sources obtained in our GPL
+  enforcement efforts and build alternative firmware projects, history shows
+  us that the creation of such projects is not guaranteed and exceedingly
+  rare.</p>
+
+<p>Traditionally, our community has relied exclusively on volunteers to take
+  up this task, and financial investment only comes after volunteers have put
+  in the unfunded work to make an <acronym title="minimal viable product">MVP</acronym> alternative firmware. While volunteer
+  involvement remains essential to the success of alternative firmware
+  projects, we know from our fiscal sponsorship work that certain aspects of
+  FOSS projects require an experienced charity to initiate and jump-start
+  some of the less exciting aspects of FOSS project creation and
+  development.</p>
+
+<p>Conservancy plans to select a specific class of device. Upon achieving
+  compliant source releases in that subindustry through GPL enforcement,
+  Conservancy will <a href="firmware-liberation.html">launch an alternative
+  firmware project</a> for that class of device.</p>

+<h1 id="software-freedom-conservancy-proposal-for-firmware-liberation-project">Firmware Liberation Project</h1>
+
+<p>Conservancy plans to select a class of product in the Linux-based embedded
+system space.  For this product, Conservancy will launch, or assist, a
+project that creates a functioning alternative firmware for those devices.
+The promise of GPL enforcement is only realized through actual, practical use
+and improvement of the released software for users.</p>
+
+<h2 id="gpl-enforcement-needs-follow-through">GPL Enforcement Needs Follow-Through</h2>
+
+<p>Simply enforcing the GPL is an important first step, and Conservancy
+  <a href="enforcement-strategy.html">continues our efforts in that
+  regard</a>. However, we can
+  replicate <a href="/copyleft-compliance/enforcement-strategy.html#brief-history-of-user-focused-gpl-enforcement">the
+  success found with OpenWrt</a> <em>only by</em> a substantial
+  effort <strong>after</strong> enforcement occurs to turn the compliant
+  source release into a viable alternative firmware for the platform.</p>
+
+<p>Conservancy has seen non-compliant Linux-based firmwares on refrigerators,
+  baby monitors, virtual assistants, soundbars, doorbells, home security
+  cameras, police body cameras, cars, AV receivers, and televisions.  We
+  believe that building an alternative firmware for one of these classes of
+  devices &mdash; or joining our work with an existing alternative firmware project
+  that is struggling due to lack of sources available &mdash; will lead to
+  more palpable software freedom for users of these device.</p>
+
+
+<h2 id="limited-success-of-alternative-hardware">Limited Success of
+  Alternative Hardware</h2>
+
+<p>Alternative hardware projects remain an essential component of small
+  device freedom. Conservancy supports and engages with communities that seek
+  to source and build IoT-style devices from the ground up. We’re excited to
+  see deployable boards that allow Maker efforts to create new devices.</p>
+
+<p>Nevertheless, we remain ever-cognizant that FOSS succeeded on servers,
+  laptop, desktop, and wireless router computers <em>precisely</em> because
+  users could buy commodity hardware at any store and install FOSS
+  alternatives to the vendor-provided software.  Throughout the history of
+  FOSS, most new users who seek to experience software freedom want to do so
+  with their existing devices first.  Many don't even know much about the
+  issues involved in software liberation <em>until they've already purchased
+  hardware</em>.  Conservancy therefore believes support of alternative
+  firmwares for such devices is paramount.</p>
+
+<h3 id="demonstrating-the-power-of-software-freedom">Demonstrating the power
+  of software freedom</h3>
+
+<p>To many, the benefits of software freedom are abstract. For less technical
+  users, the idea of modifying or even reviewing the software on their
+  devices is wholly theoretical. For technical users, there is a limited time
+  available to invest in the devices they use for their everyday
+  lives. Bringing people together to take collective action for the control
+  of their own technology is a powerful proposition that has rarely been
+  demonstrated.</p>
+
+<p>When alternative firmware projects like OpenWrt exist for IoT devices,
+  non-technical users can replace the software on their devices and benefit
+  from custom, community-controlled software. Technical users are more likely
+  to contribute knowing their efforts will be meaningful.</p>
+
+<p>However, decades of corporate involvement in copyleft have demonstrated
+  that without an organized effort, control over one’s own software is purely
+  theoretical, even when software has a copyleft license, and
+  sometimes <em>even when</em> compliance with the copyleft license is
+  acheived. Conservancy recognizes that there is a unique opportunity for
+  charitable organizations to step in and change the power dynamic of the
+  tech industry for consumers.</p>
+
+<h2 id="conservancys-plan-for-action">Conservancy’s Plan For Action</h2>
+
+<p>Conservancy seeks to fund work on liberating firmware for a specific
+  device. This is accomplished with a two-prong approach: first, we will
+  leverage increased interest and tendency toward GPL compliance throughout
+  the embedded industry to more quickly achieve compliant source releases in
+  a particular subindustry.</p>
+
+<p>Second, depending on what subindustry (i.e., specific class of devices)
+  seems most responsive to increased enforcement activity and willing to
+  provide compliant source releases quickly, we will launch, coordinate and
+  fund an alternative firmware project for that class, or, if appropriate,
+  merge our efforts with an existing alternative firmware project for that
+  class of device.</p>
+
+<h2 id="leveraging-on-increased-enforcement">Leveraging on Increased
+  Enforcement</h2>
+
+<p><a href="enforcement-strategy.html">Conservancy already plans to select a
+  specific violation and engage in litigation.</a> Based on past experience,
+  we expect that the press and attention to that ongoing litigation will
+  yield increased responsiveness by violators throughout the industry. (A
+  similar outcome occurred after our BusyBox-related litigation in 2006.)
+  This expected change in behavior will open opportunities to replicate the
+  OpenWrt approach in another embedded electronic subindustry. Fast action
+  will be necessary; most IoT products have an 18 month lifecycle, so we seek
+  to quickly identify the right subindustry, gain compliance there, and move
+  on to the next phase.</p>
+
+<h3 id="funding-firmware-liberation">Funding Firmware Liberation</h3>
+
+<p>While we’ve long hoped that volunteers would take up compliant sources
+  obtained in our GPL enforcement efforts and build alternative firmware
+  projects as they did with OpenWrt, history shows us that the creation of
+  such projects is not guaranteed and exceedingly rare.</p>
+
+<p>Traditionally, our community has relied exclusively on volunteers to take
+  up this task, and financial investment only comes after volunteers have put
+  in the unfunded work to make a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) liberated
+  firmware. While volunteer involvement remains essential to the success of
+  alternative firmware projects, we know from our fiscal sponsorship work
+  that certain aspects of FOSS projects require an experienced charity to
+  initiate and jump-start some of the less exciting aspects of FOSS project
+  creation and development. (In our last fiscal year, Conservancy funded 160
+  contributors to work on FOSS.)</p>
+
+<p>In the initial phase, Conservancy will select a specific
+  class of device. Upon achieving compliant source releases in that
+  subindustry through GPL enforcement, Conservancy will launch an alternative
+  firmware project for that class of device.</p>
+
+<p>Conservancy will seek to fund the time of project leaders and
+  infrastructure for the project. The goal is to build a firm base that draws
+  volunteers to the project. We know that sustaining funding over long
+  periods for a grassroots hobbyist activity is quite challenging; we seek to
+  bootstrap and catalyze interest and contribution to the project. Ideally,
+  Conservancy would run the project with a single full-time staffer for about
+  a year, and achieve a volunteer base sufficient to reduce funding to one
+  part-time staffer.</p>
+
+<h3 id="criteria-for-device-selection">Criteria for Device Selection</h3>
+
+<p>The IoT device industry moves quickly and we must be prepared to adapt
+  based on new information. The first stage in this work will be to carefully
+  evaluate and select the device on which to focus for this
+  project. Conservancy will evaluate the following criteria in selecting a
+  class of devices:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><p>Do most devices in the subindustry already run a known FOSS system
+    (such as Android/Linux, BusyBox/Linux or GNU/Linux)?</p></li>
+
+<li><p>In response to our increased enforcement activity, how many existing
+    GPL-compliant source releases are available from how many different
+    vendors in this subindustry?</p></li>
+
+<li><p>Is there a known userspace application that runs on Maker-built
+    hardware that does the task the proprietary userspace software from the
+    vendor did?</p></li>
+
+<li><p>What is the excitement level among volunteers for this
+    project?</p></li>
+
+<li><p>What value will hobbyists achieve from replacing the software on their
+    device? For example, would they be able to avoid surveillance or add
+    accessibility features?</p></li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>Finally, Conservancy will be prepared and willing to recognize temporary
+  failure and setbacks in a particular subindustry and pivot quickly to
+  choosing a different class of devices. This project is ambitious, and we’ll
+  be adroit in our approach to ensure success.</p>

+
+<p>Here are a list of terms you might be unfamiliar with but occur frequently
+in our work. If you have any suggestions on things we can add here, please
+reach out to info@sfconservancy.org</p>
+
+<h3 id="amicus">amicus curiae</h3>
+<p>“Amicus curiae” literally means “friend of the court” and is what you call someone who isn’t a party to the case but,because of their strong interest or expertise in the subject matter of the case, has information or argument that the court would find useful in reaching a decision.</p>
+
+<h3 id="auditability">auditability</h3>
+<p>Ability to inspect the exact software running on a device. This includes version information, modifications and licensing information. </p>
+
+<h3 id="bash">Bash</h3>
+A very common utility for Linux-based systems. Bash was originally released under the General Public License version 2 (GPLv2), but newer versions of Bash are under version 3 (GPLv3). Descendants of both versions are utilized in the industry.
+
+<h3 id="complaint">Complaint (in a lawsuit)</h3>
+<p>In the context of a lawsuit, the Complaint is the document that begins the
+lawsuit.  It states the basic claims of action by the Plaintiff, and their
+requests for remedy for the matter.</p>
+
+<h3 id="ccs">Complete Corresponding Source (CCS)</h3>
+<p>Informally, <acronym title="Complete Corresponding Source">CCS</acronym> is all of the technical materials and source code required to modify, run, and/or reinstall the software. The <acronym title="General Public License">GPL</acronym> and <acronym title="Lesser General Public License">LGPL</acronym> have a formal definitions for <acronym title="Complete Corresponding Source">CCS</acronym>, which is sometimes called "Corresponding Source."</p>
+
+<h3 id="copyleft">copyleft / copyleft licensing</h3>
+<p>A kind of software licensing that leverages the restrictions of copyright, but with the intent to promote sharing (using copyright licensing to freely use and repair software). Software programs are copylefted when they utilize software with a copyleft license. These copyleft licenses are unique in that they seek to put large corporations, small companies, consumers, and hobbyists all on equal footing. The intention is for this to be achieved by granting everyone the exact same rights, permissions, and privileges to modify, improve, and/or include the software in their products.</p>
+
+<h3 id="compliance">copyleft compliance</h3>
+<p>When companies utilize copylefted software, they thereby agree to the terms associated with its use. By utilizing copylefted software when designing products, companies agreed to these terms, and so have both contractual and copyright obligations to take certain actions to ensure others have the same rights they did with regard to the software. When rights are respected, the sharing of software under copyleft licensing is a mutually beneficial approach, but many companies are not holding up their side of the bargain. A company is in compliance when it ensures that all of its customers have the same rights, permission, and ability that it has to improve that software and install their improvements onto a device. The best way a company can demonstrate its intent to be in full compliance is by creating a vibrant third-party marketplace for improved software.</p>
+
+<h3 id="end-users">end user</h3>
+<p>An end user is someone who winds up using the software. In the case of TVs, an end user is simply the person who uses the TV. (See also third-party beneficiaries of the <acronym title="General Public License">GPL</acronym>)</p>
+
+<h3 id="ethical-technology">ethical technology</h3>
+<p>Technology that serves its users, rather than the corporations who profit from it. Ethical technology preserves and promotes the rights of those impacted by it. </p>
+
+<h3 id="foss">FOSS</h3>
+<p>Acronym for free and open source software (FOSS). See software freedom.</p>
+
+<h3 id="foss-commons">FOSS commons</h3>
+<p>The Digital Library of the Commons defines “commons” as “a general term for shared resources in which each stakeholder has an equal interest”. The FOSS commons refers to a commons for free and open source software (FOSS). See also software freedom.</p>
+
+<h3 id="firmware">firmware</h3>
+<p>Software on embedded devices that is written for the purpose of operating the specific hardware of that device.</p>
+
+<h3 id="tar">GNU tar</h3>
+<p>A copylefted program for storing large groups of files inside another file. Incredibly common and used ubiquitously. </p>
+
+<h3 id="gpl">General Public License (GPL) </h3>
+<p>A copyleft license that ensures end users the freedom to run, study, share, and modify the software. Often referred to as “the GPL.” Also known as GNU General Public License (GPL).</p>
+
+<h3 id="gpl-software">GPL’d software</h3>
+<p>Software that has been released under the terms of the <acronym title="General Public License">GPL</acronym>.</p>
+
+<h3 id="linux-kernel">Linux kernel</h3>
+<p>A kernel is the heart of an operating system, which all computerized devices, like smart TVs, require in order to function. The Linux kernel is one of the most popular operating system kernels.</p>
+
+<h3 id="proprietary-relicensing">proprietary relicensing</h3>
+<p><em>Proprietary relicensing</em> is a toxic business model whereby a company
+    distributes software under a <a href="/copyleft-compliance/glossary.html#copyleft"><em>copyleft</em> licenses</a>, but refuses to
+    agree to the copyleft license themselves (by collecting rights to issue
+    proprietary,
+    non-<a href="/copyleft-compliance/glossary.html#FOSS">FOSS</a> licenses
+    for the software separately).  While the software is technically
+    available as FOSS, users must worry since the rights-holder usually
+    captiously (and often incorrectly) interprets the copyleft license and
+    demands licensing fees for acts that copyleft actually permits.  Users
+    must chose whether to fight the proprietary relicensor in Court, buy a
+    proprietary license, or cease use of the software.  This behavior is
+    widely consider by FOSS activists as an inappropriate use of copyleft
+      licensing.</p>
+<h3 id="right-to-repair">right-to-repair software</h3>
+<p>The ability to repair the software on your device in the same way you can repair the physical aspects of your tools. Software Freedom Conservancy asserts that this right is overlooked and needs additional legal protections (as the <acronym title="Federal Trade Commission">FTC</acronym> has agreed with) to protect consumers. Software Freedom Conservancy focuses specifically on the right to software repair; other great organizations like the <a href="https://www.repair.org/">Repair Association</a> focus on the right to hardware repair. The two rights go hand-in-hand in our modern world where nearly all electronic devices also have small computers inside them.</p>
+
+<h3 id="samygo">SamyGo project</h3>
+<p>A software project designed to improve the functionality of the software on Samsung TVs. </p>
+
+<h3 id="software">software (vs hardware)</h3>
+<p>An analogy is that ingredients and tools for cooking are hardware and the recipe is software. Both the physical components (computers, phones, TVs) and the ideas (software, programs, algorithms) are necessary.</p>
+
+<h3 id="devices">software-based electronics devices</h3>
+<p>Devices like pacemakers have all the necessary hardware to beat your heart, but need the software to do it safely in a way that makes it useful. More and more devices are defined by their software, rather than the hardware (sensors, motors, radio, etc). </p>
+
+<h3 id="software-freedom">software freedom</h3>
+<p>The freedom of a user to run, study, (re)distribute, and (re)install (modified) versions of a piece of software. More generally, it is the idea that we are entitled to rights when using software and there should be equal protections for privacy and redistribution. The rights should treat everyone equally—big businesses and individual consumers and users alike.</p>
+
+<h3 id="source-code">source code</h3>
+<p>The human readable code written by people that gets turned into binary code that only a computer can understand. </p>
+
+<h3 id="specific-performance">specific performance</h3>
+<p>Fulfilling the requirements of a contract in exactly the way the contract specifies. When most contracts are disputed in court, the plaintiff expects to receive money, that they can use to remedy the harm that the other party caused them in not holding up their side of the deal. When a plaintiff seeks specific performance, they want something that money can’t replace.</p>
+
+<h3 id="summary-judgment">summary judgment</h3>
+<p>In a <em>summary judgment</em> motion, a party in a lawsuit asks the Court
+to rule immediately on some (or all) of the claims made
+in <a href="#complaint">the complaint</a>.  A motion for summary judgment on
+just some issues is called &ldquo;partial&rdquo;.  To rule
+affirmatively for summary judgment, the Judge must determine there are no
+issues of <em>fact</em> in dispute on the issue(s) in question.  The Judge
+rules as a matter of <em>law</em> on the issue.  In some state courts &mdash;
+including California &mdash; these are called &ldquo;motions for
+summary adjudication&rdquo;.</p>
+  
+<h3 id="tentative-ruling">tentative ruling</h3>
+<p>A <em>tentative ruling</em> is a preliminary but not final decision issued by a Court in advance of oral arguments on a motion</p>
+  
+<h3 id="third-party-beneficiary">third-party beneficiaries of the GPL</h3>
+<p>People who aren’t a party to a <acronym title="General Public License">GPL</acronym> agreement, but who would benefit from the contract if the parties to the <acronym title="General Public License">GPL</acronym> do as they promise under the agreement. An example of such a benefit might be the receipt of the source code of the GPL’d software. See also General Public License (GPL).</p>

+<p>IRVINE, Calif. (Oct. 19, 2021) Software Freedom Conservancy announced today
+it has filed a lawsuit against Vizio Inc. for what it calls repeated failures

+<p>The lawsuit alleges that Vizio’s TV products, built on its SmartCast system,
+contain software that Vizio unfairly appropriated from a community of
+developers who intended consumers to have very specific rights to modify,
+improve, share, and reinstall modified versions of the software.</p>
+
+
+<p>The GPL is a copyleft license that ensures end users the freedom to run,
+study, share, and modify the software. Copyleft is a kind of software
+licensing that leverages the restrictions of copyright, but with the intent
+to promote sharing (using copyright licensing to freely use and repair
+software).</p>
+
+<p>Software Freedom Conservancy, a nonprofit organization focused on ethical
+technology, is filing the lawsuit as the purchaser of a product which has
+copylefted code. This approach makes it the first legal case that focuses on
+the rights of individual consumers as third-party beneficiaries of the GPL.
+
+<p>&ldquo;That’s what makes this litigation unique and historic in terms of
+defending consumer rights,&rdquo; says Karen M. Sandler, the organization’s
+executive director.</p>
+
+
+<p>According to the lawsuit, a consumer of a product such as this has the
+right to access the source code so that it can be modified, studied, and
+redistributed (under the appropriate license conditions).</p>
+
+
+
+<p>&ldquo;We are asking the court to require Vizio to make good on its
+  obligations under copyleft compliance requirements,&rdquo; says
+  Sandler. She explains that in past litigation, the plaintiffs have always
+  been copyright holders of the specific GPL code. In this case, Software
+  Freedom Conservancy hopes to demonstrate that it's not just the copyright
+  holders, but also the receivers of the licensed code who are entitled to
+  rights.</p>
+
+<p>The lawsuit suit seeks no monetary damages, but instead seeks access to
+the technical information that the copyleft licenses require Vizio to provide
+to all customers who purchase its TVs (specifically, the plaintiff is asking
+for the technical information via &ldquo;specific performance&rdquo; rather
+than &ldquo;damages&rdquo;).</p>
+
+
+<p>&ldquo;Software Freedom Conservancy is standing up for customers who are
+  alienated and exploited by the technology on which they increasingly
+  rely,&rdquo; says Sandler, adding that the lawsuit also aims to help
+  educate consumers about their right to repair their devices as well as show
+  policy makers that there are mechanisms for corporate accountability
+  already in place that can be leveraged through purchasing power and
+  collective action.</p>
+
+
+<p>Copyleft licensing was designed as an ideological alternative to the
+classic corporate software model because it: allows people who receive the
+software to fix their devices, improve them and control them; entitles people
+to curtail surveillance and ads; and helps people continue to use their
+devices for a much longer time (instead of being forced to purchase new
+ones).</p>
+
+
+<p>&ldquo;The global supply chain shortages that have affected everything
+from cars to consumer electronics underscore one of the reasons why it is
+important to be able to repair products we already own,&rdquo; says
+Sandler. &ldquo;Even without supply chain challenges, the forced obsolescence
+of devices like TVs isn’t in the best interest of the consumer or even the
+planet. This is another aspect of what we mean by &lsquo;ethical
+technology.&rsquo; Throwing away a TV because its software is no longer
+supported by its manufacturer is not only wasteful, it has dire environmental
+consequences. Consumers should have more control over this, and they would if
+companies like Vizio played by the rules.&ldquo;</p>
+
+
+<p>According to Sandler, the organization first raised the issue of
+non-compliance with the GPL with Vizio in August 2018. After a year of
+diplomatic attempts to work with the company, it was not only still refusing
+to comply, but stopped responding to inquiries altogether as of January 2020.</p>
+
+
+<p>&ldquo;By July 2021, the TV model that we originally complained was
+non-compliant was discontinued,” says Sandler. “When we purchased new models,
+we found that despite our efforts they still had no source code included with
+the device, nor any offer for source code. People buying these models would
+never know that there was anything special about the software in these
+devices, or that they had any rights whatsoever connected with the software
+on their TVs.&rdquo;</p>
+
+
+<p>Software Freedom Conservancy analyzed the TVs and concluded that not only
+was Vizio not providing the source code and technical information that
+copyleft licenses require, Vizio was not even informing its customers about
+copylefted software and the rights it gives them as consumers.</p>

+<p>Modern smart TVs come with software that tracks viewing habits to deliver targeted advertising directly on the TV screen. Software Freedom Conservancy purchased a Vizio TV to develop an open-source version of the operating system that was more customizable and didn't track users to show them ads. This Vizio TV runs on Linux, an operating system that legally requires manufacturers to share the code that lets users customize their devices. When SFC asked Vizio to provide the <a href="glossary.html#ccs">complete, corresponding
+source code (&ldquo;CCS&rdquo;)</a>, they refused. SFC sued Vizio in the Orange County Superior Court to receive this essential information.</p>
+<p>When Vizio chose to use Linux in its TVs, it accepted Linux's reciprocal contract, which gives purchasers all the rights that Vizio had, to modify and install the software onto the Vizio TV. However, when SFC asked Vizio to hold up its end of the bargain, by giving SFC the source code that SFC was owed so SFC could make the TVs better serve their users, Vizio refused.  After multiple years of back and forth with Vizio, SFC knew the only way Vizio would comply with the license and give SFC the <acronym title="complete, corresponding source code">CCS</acronym> was to sue Vizio.  So in October 2021 SFC sued Vizio in California state court.</p>
+<p>The lawsuit is filed as a third-party beneficiary of GPLv2 (the license and contract that Linux and other software uses).  This means that, as a purchaser of a Vizio TV, SFC has rights in the contract that Vizio has with the developers of Linux and other software Vizio uses. SFC seeks to confirm in the courts that purchasers of devices running Linux and other software with reciprocal licenses like GPLv2 have a legal right to ask for, and receive, the source code for those devices, so they can adapt the software to their needs, and make practical use of those adaptations by being able to install those changes back onto the devices they purchased.</p>
+<p>We have already seen the huge benefits that GPLv2 provides to device purchasers through projects 
+like OpenWrt, which allows owners of broadband routers to customize the functionality and features of these devices to better serve them. As an example, users can install ad-blocking software on their router to keep invasive advertising away from their children. This is just one of many ways that companies complying with the GPL is important, and why SFC wants to confirm this third-party right to source code in the courts.</p>

 <h1 id="understanding-code-similarity-and-cloning">Understanding Code Similarity and &quot;Cloning&quot;</h1>
 <p>Software is often modified in various ways; indeed, Linux developers form a community that encourages and enables modification by many parties. Given this development model, communities often find it valuable to determine when software source code moves from one place to another with only minor modifications. Various scientifically-vetted techniques can be used to identify &quot;clones&quot; -- a portion of code that is substantially similar to pre-existing source code. The specific area of academic research is called &quot;code cloning detection&quot; or &quot;code duplication detection&quot;. The area has been under active research since the mid-1990s <a href="#fn1" class="footnoteRef" id="fnref1"><sup>1</sup></a>. In 2002, Japanese researchers published a tool called CCFinder <a href="#fn2" class="footnoteRef" id="fnref2"><sup>2</sup></a>, which, in its updated incarnation (called CCFinderX), is widely used and referenced by academic researchers in the field <a href="#fn3" class="footnoteRef" id="fnref3"><sup>3</sup></a> and has specifically been used to explore reuses of code in GPL'd software such as Linux <a href="#fn4" class="footnoteRef" id="fnref4"><sup>4</sup></a>.</p>
 <p>CCFinderX uses a token-based clone detection method and a suffix-tree matching algorithm; both techniques have been highly vetted and considered in the academic literature. The techniques are considered viable and useful in detecting clones. Many academic papers on the subject have been peer-reviewed and published, and nearly every newly published paper compares its new techniques of clone detection to the seminal results found by CCFinderX. For purposes of our analysis, we have therefore chosen to use CCFinderX. These results can be easily reproduced since CCFinderX is, itself, also Open Source software.</p>

+<p>Software Freedom Conservancy is hosting the second FOSSY at Portland State University! A community oriented conference this coming summer.  FOSSY (Free and Open Source Yearly) is focused on the creation and impact of free and open source software, uplifting contributors of all experience. We are also mindful of having a safe environment for all. In this new time of conferences, we will be focused on COVID safety and making sure all attendees feel safe participating as much as they feel comfortable.</p>
+
+<p>For the second year of FOSSY we are continuing with a focus on community and accessibility for the future of software freedom.. With tracks for community building, development and legal and licensing issues, our conference will provide ample learning and networking opportunities for contributors of all levels of experience. We also plan to involve significant community participation in the content of our tracks.</p>
+
+<p>As we look to the future of conferences, we are excited to focus on using free software to run a conference and will seek to help reduce the amount of proprietary software that is treated as default.</p>
+

+
+<h4>Sponsorship</h4>
+
+<p>If you are interested in sponsoring our conference, please check out our <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/docs/Fossy-Prospectus.pdf">sponsorship prospectus</a>. We are looking for sponsors at a variety of levels, including a sponsor to help us create a fully free WiFi stack for all our attendees.</p>
+
+<h4>Call for track proposals</h4>
+
+<p>FOSSY is a community centered conference and in that vein we want to work with our community to design and <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/fossy/community-tracks/">build the conference</a> from the ground up. If technology is not made by all of us, it won't be for all of us. In the spirit of community development we are modelling our talk tracks on the community led DevRooms at FOSDEM and LinuxConfAU's miniconfs.</p>
+
+<p>We are looking for people who are committed to specific issues in free software: community, GIS, right to repair, educational software (for example). If you are interested in organizing and running, please see our submission page <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/fossy/community-tracks/">here</a>.</p>

+<h1 id="QandA">Vizio Lawsuit Q &amp; A</h1>
+
+<a href="https://shoestring.agency/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/SFC_QA_GeneralPublic.pdf">[
+         A PDF version of this Q&amp;A is available. ]</a>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: Who is the defendant in this lawsuit?</h3>
+
+<p>The defendant is Vizio, Inc., a U.S.-based TV maker and media company that has been publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange since March 2021.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: What did Vizio do wrong?</h3>
+
+<p>The lawsuit alleges that Vizio’s TV products, built on its SmartCast system, contain software that Vizio unfairly appropriated from a community of developers who intended consumers to have very specific rights to modify, improve, share, and reinstall modified versions of the software.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: So, Vizio didn’t create SmartCast?</h3>
+
+<p>It appears from extensive research that the core components of SmartCast were not created by Vizio, but rather, are based on various components licensed to the public under free and open-source software (FOSS) licenses. Most notably, many of the programs that are part of the SmartCast system are licensed under the GPL.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: What is copyleft?</h3>
+
+<p>Copyleft is a term used to describe a license that uses the rights granted under copyright—not to restrict usage, but instead to ensure that the software is always shared freely.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: What is FOSS? </h3>
+
+<p>“FOSS” stands for free and open-source software that allows for software freedom. “Software freedom” means the freedom of a user to run, study, (re)distribute, and (re)install (modified) versions of a piece of software. More generally, it is the idea that we are entitled to rights when using software and there should be equal protections for privacy and redistribution. The rights should treat everyone equally: big businesses and individual consumers and users alike.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: I thought FOSS allowed companies to simply take software from the commons and put it into their products whenever they wanted? Isn’t that the whole point of FOSS—for companies to get components for their products and lower their cost of production?</h3>
+
+<p>While that is the main advantage that big corporations get from FOSS, it was never the primary impetus behind FOSS. Particularly through special licensing terms like the GPL, this licensing approach creates an egalitarian community of users, developers, and consumers. When functioning correctly, each individual and organization that participates in FOSS stands on equal footing with everyone else. Licenses like the GPL have rules to assure everyone's rights in that ecosystem are treated with equal respect and reverence. This is why compliance with these rules is important and we must stand up against companies who refuse to comply. </p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: But, I'm not a software developer. Why should I care at all that Vizio won’t let me modify and reinstall GPL’d components in its SmartCast system?</h3>
+
+<p>Right-to-repair software is essential for everyone, even if you don't know how to make the repairs yourself. Once upon a time, we had lots of local vendors that could repair and fix TVs when they broke.  That’s because TVs were once analog hardware devices that could be taken apart and understood merely by inspection from someone with the sufficient knowledge. TVs today are simply a little computer attached to a large display. As such, the most important part that needs repairs is usually when the software malfunctions, has bugs, or otherwise needs upgrades and changes. The GPL was specifically designed to assure such fixes could be done, and that consumers (or agents those consumers hire on the open market) can make such repairs and changes. </p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: Alright, that makes sense, but I’m happy with Vizio’s SmartCast right now. What difference does it make to me if Vizio won’t give me the rights under the GPL?</h3>
+
+<p>Time and time again, companies stop supporting the software build for the device long before the computer inside the device fails. In other words, these devices are built for planned premature obsolescence. </p>
+
+<p>By refusing to comply with the pro-consumer terms of the GPL, Vizio has the power to disable your TV at any time it wants, over your internet connection, without your knowledge or consent. If Vizio complied with the GPL, all would not be lost in this scenario: volunteers and third-party entities could take GPL’d software as a basis for a replacement for SmartCast. Without these rights, consumers are essentially forced to purchase new devices when they could be repaired.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: Creation of a replacement for SmartCast seems far-fetched to me. After all, most of the software in SmartCast is not actually GPL’d, only a portion of the components and programs are GPL’d.  How will Vizio's compliance with the GPL actually lead to an alternative firmware?</h3>
+
+<p>Years ago, people said the very same thing about wireless routers, which had only partially GPL'd firmwares. However, thanks to actions to enforce the GPL in the wireless router market, the OpenWrt project was born! That project is now the premiere replacement software for wireless routers from almost every major manufacturer on the market. There is now healthy competition and even occasional cooperation between a hobbyist and community-led firmware project and the wireless router manufacturers. We believe the same can happen for TVs, but the first step is assuring the entire TV market complies with the GPL.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: What indications do you have that compliance with the GPL will be a catalyst for alternative firmwares?</h3>
+
+<p>Beyond the OpenWrt example, Software Freedom Conservancy sued 14 defendants for GPL violations in 2009, including Samsung for its 2009-era TV models. Thanks to the source release that was achieved through the settlement of that lawsuit, a community-led SamyGo project was created for that era of TVs. (source)</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: Who is the plaintiff in the lawsuit?</h3>
+
+<p>Software Freedom Conservancy is the plaintiff in this case. The organization is filing as a third-party beneficiary, as the purchaser of a product which has copylefted code on it. A consumer of a product such as this has the right to access the source code so that it can be modified, studied, and redistributed (under the appropriate license conditions).</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: What makes this different than other GPL compliance lawsuits?</h3>
+
+<p>In the past, the plaintiffs have always been copyright holders of the specific GPL code. In this case Software Freedom Conservancy is demonstrating that it's not just the copyright holders, but also the receivers of the licensed code which are entitled to their rights.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: What type of case is this?  How does it compare to previous litigation by Software Freedom Conservancy regarding the GPL?</h3>
+
+<p>Previously, Software Freedom Conservancy filed as a copyright holder in federal court, or coordinated or funded litigation by other copyright holders in copyright cases in the U.S. and Germany. This is an example of how, historically, GPL litigation has focused on the rights of the developers. However, the rights assured by the GPL are actually not intended primarily for the original developers, but rather for people who purchase products that contain GPL’d software. That is what makes this litigation unique and historic in terms of defending consumer rights. It is the first case that focuses on the rights of individual consumers as third-party beneficiaries of the GPL.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: Why are you filing a third-party beneficiary claim instead of a copyright claim?</h3>
+
+<p>For too long, GPL enforcement has focused only on the rights of developers, who are often not the ones impacted by the technology in question. Some of those same developers even have lucrative jobs working for the various companies that violate the GPL. The GPL was designed to put the rights of hobbyists, individual developers, consumers, small companies, and nonprofit organizations on equal footing with big companies. With the advent of more contributions to GPL’d software coming from for-profit multinational corporations and fewer from individuals, the rights of these other parties are often given second-class billing. The third-party beneficiary claim prioritizes the consumers, who are the users and the most important beneficiaries of the rights under GPL.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q:  Are you saying the rights of developers under the GPL are not important?</h3>
+
+<p>Not at all! Most would agree that individual developers care deeply about the software freedom of users. They are the artists who create the amazing FOSS on which all of us rely. However, as Francis Ford Coppola once said (paraphrased), “to understand who holds the power in any culture, look not to the artists but who employs the artists”—a quote which suits this situation well. Large multinational corporations have co-opted FOSS for their own bottom lines. While many developers privately cheer Software Freedom Conservancy’s efforts and donate money to this cause, they fear the power that their employers exert and have asked Software Freedom Conservancy to fight for the software freedom of users.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q:  Why is this important for the future of developers?</h3>
+
+<p>The next generation of developers comes from the users of today. The golden age of FOSS that the industry now enjoys came to fruition from the counterculture created by FOSS activists in the 1990s and early 2000s. During this time, Linux and other GPL’d software was considered just a curiosity (and was even accused of being anti-American). Nevertheless, the rights assured by the GPL ultimately led to a new generation of software developers learning how to build Linux and all the amazingly useful FOSS around it. To recruit a diverse group of the next generation of enthusiastic developers, we must ensure that the rights under GPL are available to every single individual, consumer and hobbyist around the globe. That is what this lawsuit is about.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: If the goal is to fight for all consumer rights, why not file this lawsuit as a class action? </h3>
+
+<p>Forcing consumers to fight for their individual rights is one way that for-profit corporations exert their inappropriate power. Actions such as this lawsuit seek to disrupt this power dynamic by asserting that all consumers of copylefted code deserve the opportunity to know, access and modify the code on their devices. However, expecting all consumers to have to personally participate in that process not only puts an undue burden on them, it simply is not realistic. It is not how change happens. Furthermore, pursuant to “The Principles of Community Oriented GPL Enforcement,” the lawsuit does not prioritize financial remedy over compliance. This lawsuit seeks the most important remedy for the public good: release of the Complete, Corresponding Source (CCS) for all GPL’d components on Vizio TVs. Once that is achieved, the benefit is immediately available to not only all who purchased a Vizio TV, but also to the entire FOSS community.  </p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: What are “The Principles of Community Oriented GPL Enforcement”?</h3>
+
+<p>In 2016, Software Freedom Conservancy published “The Principles of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement” in response to those who might use copyleft licenses for their own financial gain. Software Freedom Conservancy is part of a long tradition of using copyleft enforcement as intended: to further the rights and freedoms of individual users, consumers, and developers. Pursuant to those principles, Software Freedom Conservancy never prioritizes financial gain over assuring the rights guaranteed by the GPL are upheld.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: Are the court documents released? Does that relate to why the litigation was brought in the U.S.?</h3>
+
+<p>Software Freedom Conservancy brought this litigation within the U.S. specifically because litigation in this country is completely public. Historically, Germany has been one of the most popular venues for GPL litigation but it also has a huge downside: the German legal system keeps all details of the cases private and there is little transparency. </p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: Who is funding this lawsuit? </h3>
+
+<p>This lawsuit is central to the mission of Software Freedom Conservancy. The organization has received grants from Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) to support GPL compliance work. As a nonprofit, charitable donations are also an important source of funding to carry out the work. This combined financial support allowed for this litigation to begin. However, continued donor support will be vital since litigation like this is quite expensive.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: How can someone make a donation?</h3>
+
+<p>To make a tax-deductible donation to Software Freedom Conservancy, go to sfconservancy.org/donate. The best way to support this important work is to join as an official Sustainer. Details on that program are available at sfconservancy.org/sustainer. </p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: Why must you file a lawsuit? Isn’t there any other way to convince Vizio to comply with the GPL? </h3>
+
+<p>Vizio has a long history of violating copyleft. The company has also stopped replying to inquiries from Software Freedom Conservancy. Vizio has been benefiting from the use of an abundance of existing copylefted software, but completely ignores the responsibilities that come with using the licenses. Furthermore, Vizio has already been subject to a large class-action suit that alleged that Vizio was misusing its customers’ private information (Vizio settled that class action for $17 million).</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: What GPL code has been discovered in Vizio’s SmartCast? </h3>
+
+<p>SmartCast is a Linux-based operating system. That means that not only do multiple copies of the Linux kernel appear in the firmware, other GPL'd and LGPL'd programs were found, including U-Boot, bash, gawk, tar, glibc, and ffmpeg.</p>
+
+<h3 id="">Q: How can I verify Software Freedom Conservancy’s technical findings above? </h3>
+
+<p>Object code can be found on the TVs and source code/binaries on the filesystem. There are multiple models in which we can confirm the findings. Go to sfconservancy.org/vizio for details.</p>

+<h2 id="covid-19-travel-policy-amendment-2020-03-27">COVID-19 Travel Policy Amendment, 2020-03-27</h2>
+<p>In this difficult time, Conservancy is committed to reimbursing both employee and volunteer travelers who canceled program-related travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please keep in mind that Conservancy is a small charity, and we ask travelers to help us save the most money for Conservancy&rsquo;s projects. You can do this by maximizing the value for cancellations and by avoiding or reducing reimbursements when the vendor of the travel service offers credit and refunds.</p>
+<p>This Policy will remain in effect indefinitely. We will officially rescind this Policy after the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided. Check back to our travel policy page for the rescinded date before you submit canceled travel reimbursement or book any new travel.</p>
+<h3 id="new-travel-hiatus">New Travel Hiatus</h3>
+<p>No new travel may be <strong>booked</strong> for reimbursement for Conservancy without explicit preapproval directly from Conservancy&rsquo;s Executive Director.  Any travel booked without such preapproval during that period will not be reimbursed.  If you need such preapproval, please write to the approvals queue and describe why the travel warrants an exception to this Policy.  Ask your PLC for the contact information if you don&rsquo;t have it.</p>
+<p>Canceled trips due to COVID-19 pandemic will be reimbursed as follows.</p>
+<h3 id="trivial-amounts-exception">Trivial Amounts Exception</h3>
+<p>If the entire cost of any specific item is less than or equal to US$150, you need not provide additional documentation for cancellation. Simply submit the expense with the documentation as required under the main travel policy, and include a statement that asserts you did not travel (e.g., &ldquo;I am submitting a request for reimbursement for Conservancy-related travel for PROJECT which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.&rdquo;)</p>
+<p>Note that the US$150 limit is for five different items: US$150 for airfare, US$150 for hotel/accommodations, US$150 for ground transportation, US$150 for visa fees, and US$150 for conference registration fees.</p>
+<p>This limit may be further reduced by any overall budget set by your project. For example, Outreachy interns, whose travel budget is typically $500 total, may not exceed a $500 reimbursement in any event.</p>
+<h3 id="airfare">Airfare</h3>
+<p>Most airlines are offering flight credit for canceled flights, although some are offering full refunds. Typically, you <strong>cannot</strong> receive this credit or refund unless you phone the airline.</p>
+<p>If your airline&rsquo;s online system does not offer a refund or flight credit, please phone your airline and request a refund. If the airline refuses a refund, ask for flight credit. Many airlines have written policies on their website, such as <a href="https://www.delta.com/us/en/advisories/coronavirus-travel/overview">Delta&rsquo;s</a>.</p>
+<p>Please take notes during your call, including the name of the agent, any confirmation number they give you, the date by which your credit must be used, and the amount of the credit. Most airlines are offering credit for use within one year of the purchase and/or travel date.</p>
+<p>Submit to Conservancy for reimbursement the following three things:</p>
+<pre><code>   * Your original flight search
+   * Your original receipt
+   * A document officially from the airline that shows that flight(s)  is/are canceled
+   * Your notes (or if possible, written documentation from the airline) documenting your attempt to receive refund/credit. The notes should include when you called, who you talked to, what you requested, of what refund and/or credit you received (if any) and when it expires
+</code></pre>
+<p>These items must be submitted in full no less than 90 days after your original first date of travel.  We will not reimburse if submissions are not timely.</p>
+<p>If all documentation is in order and the submission is timely, Conservancy will reimburse on usual NET-30 terms the amount you paid out-of-pocket to the airline. If you received flight credit, <strong>you may not use the credit for personal travel</strong> unless you return that amount to Conservancy.  We encourage you to use this credit for Conservancy travel. We will track the flight credit on our books, and expire it on the date of expiration. You will be given a new accounts-payable (A/P) ticket to use with an expiration set to the date of your credit expiration. Please be sure to use that ticket for any reimbursement that includes your flight credit. If you ultimately do not travel for Conservancy and/or your member project before the expiration, the ticket will expire and we&rsquo;ll move the funds off our books.</p>
+<p>In the unlikely event that your airline has a written policy that they are offering no future flight credit nor refunds for COVID-19 cancellations, you can submit that as documentation for reimbursement in lieu of documentation of your phone call.</p>
+<h3 id="hotels">Hotels</h3>
+<p>Most hotels are offering full refunds, even for advance purchase, non-refundable rates. For example, here is <a href="https://www.hilton.com/en/corporate/coronavirus/">Hilton&rsquo;s poicy</a>.</p>
+<p>In our experience, even smaller non-chain hotels are offering refunds if you phone to request them.</p>
+<p>For prepurchase hotels, where your original receipt shows that the fare was a prepurchased and non-refundable rate, please follow the procedures above for flights to seek a refund and/or credit.</p>
+<p>For nonprepurchased hotels, for example, those that have a cancellation period before arrival, it is your responsibility to cancel these in a timely manner. Conservancy will not reimburse for hotel costs where you failed to take advantage the free cancellation period.</p>
+<p>In the unlikely event that you were scheduled to travel immediately before COVID-19 cancellations began (e.g., if you were scheduled to travel the first week of March), and you had to cancel too quickly and were charged by the hotel, please follow the non-refundable fare procedures.</p>
+<h3 id="ground-transportation">Ground Transportation</h3>
+<p>Cancellation policies vary for ground transportation (such as trains). Please follow the rules for airfare in this case.</p>
+<h3 id="visa-fees">Visa Fees</h3>
+<p>Visa fees are generally non-refundable in any event, and our research has shown that most countries are not refunding visa fees for canceled travel due to COVID-19. Accordingly, you may submit your full visa fee receipt for reimbursement pursuant to the main travel policy.</p>
+<h3 id="conference-fees">Conference Fees</h3>
+<p>We have yet to hear of a conference that is not refunding conference registration fees for individuals.  However, in the unlikely event that the conference you sought to attend is not refunding, please follow the airfare refund/credit documentation procedures above.</p>
+<h3 id="mie-per-diem">M&amp;IE Per Diem</h3>
+<p>All other items of reimbursement are typically covered by M&amp;IE Per Diem. No items that are typically covered by M&amp;IE Per Diem are reimbursable if you do not travel, and therefore only the items listed in this document are currently covered for COVID-19 cancellations. If you incurred other expenses not explained here, please write back to your A/P ticket and explain the situation.</p>
+<h3 id="other-difficulties">Other Difficulties</h3>
+<p>Please contact us via your reimbursement ticket if for some reason it is impossible or very difficult for you to follow this Policy.</p>
+<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>
+<p>This Travel and Reimbursable Expense Policy (&ldquo;Policy&rdquo;) applies to all
+Conservancy Member Projects (&ldquo;Projects&rdquo;) of Software Freedom Conservancy
+(&ldquo;Conservancy&rdquo;) and has been created to memorialize Conservancy&rsquo;s
+reimbursement policies relating to travel and other business expenses
+incurred by Conservancy staff, Project Leadership Committee (&ldquo;PLC&rdquo;)
+members, and project volunteers while engaged in business on behalf of, or
+at the behest of Conservancy and/or a Project (&ldquo;Travelers&rdquo;).</p>
+<p>This Policy includes an Easy Reference Guide that can be used as a
+template for most of the travel covered under this Policy.  When in doubt,
+refer to the more detailed sections below.</p>
+<h2 id="purpose">Purpose</h2>
+<p>Conservancy must maintain effective control of business-related expenses
+in order to maintain its financial viability and tax exempt status.
+Conservancy and each Project is also accountable to our donors to ensure
+that we manage their contributions wisely and maximize our ability to
+pursue our charitable mission.  As such, Conservancy expects Travelers to
+use good judgment and to claim reimbursement for only those expenses that
+are necessary and reasonable.  Excessive expenses, including but not
+limited to luxury accommodations and services unnecessary for, or unrelated
+to the furtherance of Conservancy&rsquo;s charitable mission are not eligible for
+reimbursement.</p>
+<p>Any travel expense that adheres to this Policy is considered In-Policy
+and does not require special approval, so long as the trip itself
+has been approved in writing by Conservancy&rsquo;s Executive Director or
+by a Project&rsquo;s Leadership Committee (&ldquo;PLC&rdquo;) in a regular and documented
+PLC vote.  Conservancy and/or a PLC can limit allowable travel expenses
+to an amount less than what would otherwise be considered acceptable
+according to this Policy. If so, the smaller budget is the maximum
+allowed expense.</p>
+<p>PLC&rsquo;s may, in fact, have their own travel policy that is more restrictive
+than this one.  Please consult the PLC for your Conservancy project before
+incurring an expenses to ensure you understand what expenses can be
+reimbursed.</p>
+<h2 id="easy-reference-guide">Easy Reference Guide</h2>
+<p>Travelers should adhere to the following guidelines to stay In-Policy.</p>
+<h3 id="flights">Flights</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Before you buy tickets, save a screenshot of a flight search that
+  shows the least expensive fare available from multiple airlines for
+  the dates you need to travel.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Book at least 14 days in advance.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Fares within $100 of that lowest fare you found are In-Policy, even if
+  you book on a different site or for different dates.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Fares over $750 domestically or $1,650 internationally require
+  Conservancy&rsquo;s pre-approval.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<h3 id="hotels_1">Hotels</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Hotels are In-Policy as long as the average nightly rate you pay
+  (excluding taxes and fees) is under the maximum rate for lodging for your

+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Be sure the receipt from your hotel includes the dates of your

+  travel.  Untimely requests <strong>will not be reimbursed</strong>.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<h2 id="rates">Rates</h2>
+<p>Throughout this document, we refer to rates reported by other parties.</p>
+<p>For travel in the United States, we follow the maximum rates for lodging and
+M&amp;IE per diem set by the
+<a href="https://www.gsa.gov/perdiem">US General Services Administration</a>.</p>
+<p>For travel outside the United States, we follow the maximum rates for lodging and
+M&amp;IE per diem set by the
+<a href="https://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem.asp">US Department of State</a>.</p>
+<p>We calculate the total per diem allowance for a trip using the same method
+as the GSA.  Travelers may request up to 100% of the listed rate for each
+full day of travel, plus 75% of the listed rate for each partial day of
+travel.  For example, if you fly to a conference on Monday, spend Tuesday
+through Thursday at the conference, and return home on Friday, and the per
+diem rate for the conference city is $80, you may request up to $360: $80
+for each day Tuesday through Thursday, plus $60 for each day you flew.</p>
+<p>When we convert currencies (e.g., to determine whether a hotel paid in Euros
+was within the maximum lodging rate), we use the final rate published by
+<a href="https://openexchangerates.org/">Open Exchange Rates</a> on the date we received
+the reimbursement request.  Please do not do your own currency conversions
+in your reimbursement requests.  Simply report expenses in their original
+currency/ies, and we will convert appropriately.  If you have questions or
+concerns about our rates, just ask, and we&rsquo;ll be happy to provide details
+before we send you final payment.</p>
+<h2 id="reimbursement-procedure">Reimbursement Procedure</h2>
+<p>Conservancy handles reimbursements on a NET-30 basis, starting from the date
+that complete materials are received.  If this is an issue, Conservancy is
+available to prepurchase expensive items like airline tickets on your
+behalf, so that you don&rsquo;t need to be reimbursed.</p>
+<p>If you seek to be reimbursed for Conservancy Project expenses, please send
+the following, in a self contained email (with attachments as necessary),
+cc&rsquo;ing your Project Leadership Committee address (PROJECT@sfconservancy.org)
+for Project approval:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>A brief paragraph explaining what was accomplished for the project
+  during your travel and/or with the funds being reimbursed.  This can
+  be informal; it&rsquo;s just for our records to confirm the travel advanced
+  the not-for-profit mission of both Conservancy and the project.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>A brief report listing the items to be reimbursed.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Full receipt(s) for everything, unless the travel policy does not
+  require receipts (e.g., for per diem expenses).</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Please verify that the receipts that you submit are within the attached
+  travel policy requirements.  Note, however, that your Project Leadership
+  Committee may have set a stricter budget than what the general
+  Conservancy policy allows.</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>How you&rsquo;d liked to be reimbursed. The four payment options, in order of
+  Conservancy&rsquo;s preference, are:</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>PayPal.  For this, we need (a) the email address that is registered to
+    the PayPal account that will receive reimbursement and (b) the preferred
+    currency.  (Please verify that PayPal
+    <a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/selfhelp/article/how-do-i-send-a-payment-in-another-currency-faq1555/3">lists your preferred currency as available before choosing one</a>.)
+    Note that sometimes PayPal charges fees.  Usually we&rsquo;re taking funds
+    from our PayPal balance, which means no fees appear on our side, but
+    they may appear on yours.  In our experience, USA PayPal account holders
+    physically in the USA are not typically charged fees; but we do advise
+    you to check PayPal&rsquo;s fee schedule before choosing this method.</p>
+<p>NOTE: Typically, when choosing PayPal as a payment option, amounts owed
+        in USD will be paid in USD, regardless of your preferred currency
+        selection.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Issue you a check in USD from a USA bank, sent to you via post.
+    For this option, I just need your postal address.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Wire the amount in your local currency to your bank account in your
+    country.  For this option, I need as much of the following information
+    as it&rsquo;s possible for you to collect.</p>
+<p><strong>Required information</strong></p>

+<li>
+<p>Full Name of the Account Holder</p>

+<h2 id="project-leadership-committee-review">Project Leadership Committee Review</h2>
+<p>Conservancy foresees the need for periodic reasonable exceptions to
+this Policy.  Persons working on behalf of a specific Project seeking
+an exception to this Policy must petition their PLC to obtain written
+approval from Conservancy authorizing the exception.  Persons working
+directly on behalf of Conservancy seeking an exception to the
+Policy must obtain written approval from Conservancy authorizing the
+exception.</p>
+<p>PLCs are responsible for creating procedures for requesting exceptions,
+and submitting to Conservancy reimbursement requests associated with
+their respective Projects.  PLCs are also responsible for making available
+a list of required response times for inquiries, including but not
+limited to, the following two cases</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>a specific number of days to respond to regular reimbursement requests,
+and</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>a specific number of days to respond to pre-authorization requests.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>PLCs are also responsible for monitoring the available balance in their
+Project Fund, and for granting or refusing approval for travel expense
+requests based on an assessment of the funds available and of any
+outstanding contracts payable.  PLCs are not to approve travel expense
+requests when their Project does not have sufficient funds to cover the
+expense.  If a PLC has any questions regarding whether their Project has
+sufficient funds to cover a Traveler&rsquo;s expense request, the PLC should
+contact Conservancy.</p>
+<h2 id="transportation">Transportation</h2>
+<h3 id="overall-transportation-cost">Overall transportation Cost</h3>
+<p>Domestic transportation costs greater than US$750 requires Conservancy
+approval prior to booking, even if all other Policy conditions have been
+met.  International transportation costs greater than US$1,800 requires
+Conservancy approval prior to booking, even if all other Policy conditions
+have been met.</p>
+<h3 id="advance-purchase">Advance Purchase</h3>
+<p>Tickets for travel by air or rail (excluding commuter train and subway)
+should be booked at least 14 days in advance; any travel booked less than
+14 days in advance requires written pre-authorization by Conservancy.
+Tickets for travel by air or rail beyond 365 days in advance also require
+written pre-authorization by Conservancy.</p>
+<h3 id="air-travel">Air Travel</h3>
+<h4 id="class-of-service">Class of Service</h4>
+<p>Coach and/or Economy Airfare is the only acceptable class for all flights
+(domestic and international) unless a PLC provides a special exception and
+a valid reason (such as a need for business class due to a documented
+medical reason) to Conservancy for written approval.  Travelers may select
+their airline of choice (e.g., for the purpose of collecting airline miles
+and rewards), provided that the resulting fare otherwise meets the
+requirements of this Policy.  Travelers should not book out-of-Policy trips
+(and thus pay a higher fare) in order to qualify for a mileage upgrade.</p>
+<h4 id="advance-purchase_1">Advance Purchase</h4>
+<p>Air travel should be booked at least 14 days in advance; any travel booked
+less than 14 days in advance requires written pre-authorization by
+Conservancy.  Flights beyond 365 days in advance also require written
+pre-authorization by Conservancy.</p>
+<h4 id="low-fare">Low Fare</h4>
+<p>Conservancy aims to balance cost savings with time savings and convenience.
+Budgets for flights are set based on their travel time compared to the
+flight with the lowest available fare.  Flights with fares that are within
+budget are in-Policy.</p>
+<p>To find the lowest available fare, run a flight search that meets these
+criteria, and save the results:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>The search must include fares from multiple airlines.  Any
+  widely-recognized airfare search site that lists results from multiple
+  airlines is acceptable, including sites such as
+  <a href="http://orbitz.com">Orbitz</a>, <a href="http://kayak.com">Kayak</a> or
+  <a href="http://hipmunk.com/">Hipmunk</a>.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>The search must cover only the dates of relevant travel.  For example, if
+  you&rsquo;re attending a conference that runs Monday through Friday, the search
+  must have you arriving no earlier than Sunday, and leaving no later than
+  Saturday.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Except as allowed by Policy, the search must not use filters that might
+  exclude the least expensive fare.  For example, you may filter out
+  flights with two or more connections, since Conservancy does not
+  consider those reasonable.  However, you may not filter out specific
+  airlines, or flights without WiFi.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Save the results of this search.  A PDF printout of the first page of
+results from your browser is ideal.  A screenshot can work too.  Just make
+sure the output shows the search criteria and the lowest available fare.
+When you send your reimbursement request, attach these results.</p>
+<p>The budget for a flight is set depending on how its cost and travel time
+compares to the flight with the lowest available fare.  Travel time is
+measured from the scheduled departure time of the first flight in the
+itinerary to the scheduled landing time of the final flight.  We use the
+following table to determine the budget:</p>
+<table>
+<thead>
+<tr>
+<th>If the travel time for a flight is…</th>
+<th>the budget for that flight is…</th>
+</tr>
+</thead>
+<tbody>
+<tr>
+<td>the same or longer than the flight with the lowest available fare</td>
+<td>the lowest available fare + US$100</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>less than three hours shorter</td>
+<td>the lowest available fare + US$100</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>between three and six hours shorter</td>
+<td>the lowest available fare + US$200</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>between six and ten hours shorter</td>
+<td>the lowest available fare + US$350</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td>at least ten hours shorter</td>
+<td>the lowest available fare + US$600</td>
+</tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+<p>Any flight with a total cost that is within its corresponding budget is
+within Policy.  Any flight with a cost over its budget requires written
+pre-authorization by Conservancy.</p>
+<p>Travelers may book their tickets on different dates or a different site as
+long as they used a qualifying fare search site to determine that the
+booked flights are within Policy.</p>
+<h4 id="reasonable-flights">Reasonable Flights</h4>
+<p>Conservancy asks that Travelers allow for flexibility with respect
+to departure times during a desired day of travel, as well as longer
+trips in order to reduce cost.  However, Conservancy does consider
+flights with two or more connections as unreasonable and does not
+expect Travelers to consider those flight options to be reasonable.</p>
+<h4 id="excess-baggage">Excess Baggage</h4>
+<p>Should a team member travel on an airline that charges for a single piece of
+checked baggage, such a baggage expense is eligible for reimbursement with a
+receipt.  Team members are responsible for charges on any baggage beyond a
+single piece, unless that additional baggage is materials specifically
+related to the Project&rsquo;s and Conservancy&rsquo;s mission (i.e., bringing t-shirts
+and other promotional materials to an event).</p>
+<h4 id="out-of-policy-bookings">Out-of-Policy Bookings</h4>
+<p>All air travel not adhering to the above Policies are considered Out-of-Policy
+and require written pre-authorization by an officer of Conservancy.</p>
+<h4 id="cancellation-fees">Cancellation Fees</h4>
+<p>Cancellation fees and other penalties incurred result of a change
+of plans are reimbursable at Conservancy&rsquo;s discretion.  In general,
+Conservancy shall reimburse such fees if the Traveler can submit a
+valid reason for the change of plans.  Acceptable reasons include Conservancy
+and/or the PLC canceling or altering the trip or unexpected delays
+in flight connections.  In instances where these fees are incurred
+without adequate explanation, Conservancy reserves the right to refuse
+to reimburse the cost of the fees.</p>
+<h3 id="other-transportation">Other Transportation</h3>
+<h4 id="ground-transportation_1">Ground Transportation</h4>
+<p>Ground transportation necessary as part of authorized Project trips
+is considered to be a reasonable expense.   Public ground transportation,
+such as taxis, shuttles, buses and municipal transit, are generally
+the most cost-effective options and are the standard for eligible
+ground transportation reimbursements.  All car rentals require pre-authorization
+by the PLC or by an officer of Conservancy.  When car rentals
+have been pre-approved, the rental of compact cars is encouraged;
+mid-size vehicles are authorized when necessary (e.g., when compact-sized
+vehicles are not available or the number of passengers or volume of
+baggage makes a compact vehicle impractical).</p>
+<h4 id="rail-transportation">Rail Transportation</h4>
+<p>Rail transportation as a means of travel for an authorized Project
+trip is considered to be a reasonable expense.  All rail transportation
+must be in economy and/or coach class.</p>
+<h4 id="use-of-personal-vehicles">Use of Personal Vehicles</h4>
+<p>When circumstances require Travelers to utilize their personal vehicles for
+Project purposes, they can be reimbursed at the current
+<a href="https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/standard-mileage-rates/">USA IRS Standard Mileage Rate</a>,
+plus any related parking expenses and toll fees.  Drivers are encouraged to
+find the lowest cost parking area reasonably near their destination.</p>
+<h2 id="additional-days-of-travel">Additional Days of Travel</h2>
+<p>Travelers often seek to add extra days before or after an approved trip
+(e.g., the weekend before a conference). A Traveler may seek approval for
+the expenses associated with an extended stay prior to booking the trip,
+provided that the additional days are solely to enable a Traveler to
+conduct work within the PLC&rsquo;s objectives and Conservancy&rsquo;s charitable
+mission, or to get a particular airfare that <strong>reduces</strong> the overall cost of
+the trip.  Travelers may seek approval to book travel itineraries that
+include extra days for personal reasons, so long as the cost of the flight
+meets the other requirements of this Policy.  Other expenses incurred
+during extra personal days beyond transportation costs are not reimbursable.</p>
+<h2 id="lodging">Lodging</h2>
+<p>Travelers are expected to be cost-conscious and prudent when booking lodging
+for approved trips, and to verify that rates are within the maximum lodging
+rates for the hotel&rsquo;s location.  See the &ldquo;Rates&rdquo; section above for details.</p>
+<p>If the lodging chosen by the Traveler and/or the PLC exceeds the maximum
+lodging rate for the given location (per Traveler), the Traveler and/or the
+PLC <strong>must</strong> obtain written pre-approval from Conservancy and the PLC before
+booking the hotel.  If written pre-approval is not sought or is not granted,
+Conservancy will only reimburse up to the maximum lodging rate.</p>
+<p>Lodging documentation submitted as part of a reimbursement request must
+include a copy of the hotel invoice detailing all charges (credit card
+receipts <strong>alone</strong> are unacceptable).  In particular, since Conservancy only
+reimburses for room charges (plus relevant taxes and fees) for the necessary
+travel dates, the receipt from the hotel must clearly show the dates of stay,
+and separately list room charges and any food or service charges.
+Conservancy will not reimburse Travelers for any costs associated with an
+upgrade of room accommodations.</p>
+<p>In some cases, Conservancy, upon consultation with the PLC, may decide to
+book lodging on behalf of Travelers.  In this case, Conservancy-booked
+lodging is always considered In-Policy.</p>
+<h2 id="other-reimbursable-expenses">Other Reimbursable Expenses</h2>
+<p>Conservancy will reimburse persons for Project-related expenses that
+are incurred while traveling on approved Project business and/or approved
+Conservancy business. Only necessary, ordinary and reasonable expenses
+are eligible for reimbursement, and only those categories of expenses
+listed in this document qualify.</p>
+<h3 id="meals-and-incidental-expenses">Meals and Incidental Expenses</h3>
+<h4 id="overview_1">Overview</h4>
+<p>Travelers can submit for a per diem for meals and incidental expenses for
+every day of a trip devoted to Project- and/or Conservancy-related mission
+work, including the day(s) of travel itself, up to the maximum rate for the
+destination of the trip.  See the &ldquo;Rates&rdquo; section above for details.</p>
+<p>These per diem rates are the maximum daily rate Travelers can claim.  If a
+conference has provided food, or food is provided in some other form, or
+the costs the Traveler incurs are lower than this rate, then the Traveler
+should reasonably reduce their per diem claim.</p>
+<p>PLCs and/or Conservancy have the authority to set lower per diem rates
+than those generated by the calculators above.  In those instances,
+Travelers will only be able to submit for the lower per diem rates.</p>
+<h4 id="group-meals">Group Meals</h4>
+<p>For groups of Travelers on an In-Policy trip, each Traveler should
+pay for his/her own meals, seeing as all participants will have an
+opportunity to submit for separate per diem reimbursements after the trip.</p>
+<p>For clarification purposes, this Policy does not relate to planned
+group events that include meals and/or refreshments (e.g., a PLC-organized
+conference that includes lunch for all attendees).  Further, PLCs and/or
+Conservancy retain the right to allocate a separate budget for anticipated
+large group meals beyond the individual per diem limits of each Traveler,
+provided that they are within the PLC&rsquo;s technical objectives and/or
+Conservancy&rsquo;s mission.  Travelers anticipating a need to cover such
+a large group meal should seek pre-approval from his/her PLC and/or Conservancy
+for such expenses before the trip.</p>
+<p>For any such group meal, Conservancy will require a written paragraph
+summary of the meeting, indicating what was accomplished for the Project&rsquo;s
+and Conservancy&rsquo;s mission.</p>
+<h4 id="meals-for-organizational-development">Meals For Organizational Development</h4>
+<p>Travelers may occasionally have the need to invite third parties
+(e.g., prospective donors, contributors, community members, etc.) to
+meals in order to further a PLC&rsquo;s technical direction and/or Conservancy&rsquo;s
+mission.  Conservancy recommends that Travelers seek pre-approval from
+their PLC and/or Conservancy for such meals.</p>
+<p>For any such organizational development meal, Conservancy will require a
+written paragraph summary of the meeting, indicating what was accomplished
+for the Project&rsquo;s and Conservancy&rsquo;s mission.</p>
+<h4 id="phone-call-charges-part-of-per-diem">Phone Call Charges Part of Per Diem</h4>
+<p>Charges for personal phone calls (e.g., made from a hotel, or via
+a mobile phone in international travel) are not reimbursable as an
+expense separate from the allocated per diem.</p>
+<h4 id="currency-conversion-charges-part-of-per-diem">Currency Conversion Charges Part of Per Diem</h4>
+<p>Any fees associated with currency conversion are not reimbursable as an
+expense separate from the allocated per diem.</p>
+<h3 id="conference-registration-fees">Conference Registration Fees</h3>
+<p>Conservancy will reimburse conference registration fees up to $100 per day
+for Travelers on approved Project business and/or approved Conservancy
+business.  For example, a $250 registration fee for a 3-day conference is
+In-Policy; however, a $225 registration fee for a 2-day conference is not.</p>
+<p>Travelers seeking reimbursement for registration fees that exceed $100 per
+day must obtain prior approval from an officer of Conservancy.</p>
+<h3 id="internet-access">Internet Access</h3>
+<p>Internet access/wi-fi fees charged by a hotel are reimbursable, provided
+that they are listed on the hotel/lodging invoice submitted for
+reimbursement.  Other internet access fees (e.g., airport internet
+services, personal wi-fi hotspots, internet cafes) are not reimbursable
+except as incidental expenses to be covered by a Traveler&rsquo;s per diem.</p>
+<h3 id="visa-fees_1">Visa Fees</h3>
+<p>Conservancy will reimburse fees charged by an embassy (or any government
+agency) that are mandatory for receiving a visa (or other permission) to
+enter the final destination country of travel, provided proper documentation
+of cost (such as a receipt, or a copy of the visa along with government
+published rates).</p>
+<p>Conservancy may reimburse other ancillary costs, such as use of a travel
+expert agency for obtaining a visa, or additional domestic travel costs
+necessary to obtain a visa, but all such other costs require prior approval
+from Conservancy.</p>
+<h2 id="non-reimbursable-expenses">Non-reimbursable Expenses</h2>
+<p>Non-reimbursable expenses are identified throughout this policy.  The
+following items are typically non-reimbursable expenses:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Partner, spouse, and/or companion travel</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>First class travel (unless medically necessary)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Upgrades to air travel, car rentals, or hotel rooms</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Purchase of clothing, luggage, toiletries and other miscellaneous
+personal items</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Supplemental travel or car rental insurance</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Fines, penalties, or legal fees</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Personal entertainment or recreational expenses beyond the allotted per
+diem</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Travelers are permitted to pay for their own upgrades, or use bonus
+programs to upgrade Conservancy-reimbursed expenses.  However, Travelers
+must ensure that Conservancy does not receive nor reimburse any charges
+for any such transaction.</p>
+<h2 id="satisfaction-of-irs-requirements">Satisfaction of IRS Requirements</h2>
+<p>Reimbursed travel expenses are subject to examination by the USA Internal
+Revenue Service (IRS).  Travelers are responsible for retaining documentary
+evidence that all expenses are strictly for Project- and/or
+Conservancy-related purposes, not personal in nature, and therefore not
+includable as taxable income to the Traveler.  Receipts are required for
+all expenses, no matter the amount.</p>
+<h2 id="approvals">Approvals</h2>
+<p>Travelers traveling on behalf of a Project must seek approvals and
+submit expense reports to their PLC.  PLCs are to review those expense
+reports and pass them along to Conservancy&rsquo;s accounting office for
+final approval and reimbursement.</p>
+<p>Travelers traveling on behalf of Conservancy must seek approvals from
+Conservancy&rsquo;s Executive Director, and submit expense reports to
+Conservancy&rsquo;s accounting office for reimbursement.</p>
+<h2 id="expense-reporting">Expense Reporting</h2>
+<p>Travelers seeking reimbursement must submit an expense report to the
+appropriate channel with the following information:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Name of Traveler</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Brief description of trip and trip&rsquo;s purpose (e.g., &ldquo;August 2011
+trip to XYZ conference for ABC project, served as planning committee
+member&rdquo;; &ldquo;Feb. &lsquo;12 FOO hackfest in Portland, OR; contributed code&rdquo;)</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>A brief paragraph explaining what was accomplished for the project
+during your travel.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Number of days traveled (with documentary evidence, e.g., conference
+itinerary, etc.) and associated per diem</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>List of expenses not covered by per diem (e.g., transportation, lodging)
+with substantiating receipts (or scans of receipts).</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>In the event that it is impractical to obtain a required receipt and/or if
+  such receipt has been inadvertently destroyed or lost, the Traveler should
+  furnish a written statement to that effect, as well as an explanation of
+  the expenditure involved.  When possible, secondary documentation (such as
+  a redacted credit card bill) should be provided instead of the
+  lost/destroyed receipt.</p>
+<p>Any expense without a substantiated receipt and/or a supporting written
+statement will not be reimbursed.</p>
+<p>Conservancy requests that all expense reports be submitted within two weeks
+of travel.  Expense reports filed more than 90 days after the last day of
+travel (or for other reimbursable expenses, the day expenses are incurred)
+<strong>will not be reimbursed</strong>.</p>
+<p>Reimbursements are paid by Conservancy on a NET-30 basis, from the
+date of receipt by Conservancy of the fully complete report and supporting
+documentation for the travel.</p>
+<h2 id="consequences-of-policy-violations">Consequences of Policy Violations</h2>
+<p>Failure to comply with this policy may result in the denial of, or delay
+in payment for, reimbursement requests.</p>
+<h2 id="policy-changes">Policy Changes</h2>
+<p>The Conservancy reserves the right to change any terms of this Policy
+from time to time. The Policy of record shall be the Policy most recently
+distributed by the Conservancy. </p>
