The directory nesting is unnecessary here and confusing to navigate. I've moved all apps to the project subdirectory, currently called "www", but soon to be renamed "conservancy". I've also moved manage.py to the top-level directory.

<h1 id="ourwork">Help Defend Software Freedom and Rights</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Folks often ask us how they can help us defend the software freedoms and
|
|
rights that copyleft makes possible. There are lots of ways to help and we
|
|
believe that the entire public can help.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="request">Request Source Code</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>All versions of the GPL and LGPL allow companies to make an <em>offer</em>
|
|
for Complete, Corresponding Source (CCS) <em>rather than</em> giving you
|
|
the CCS outright with the product. Sadly, <strong>many</strong>
|
|
companies make an offer with no intention of actually providing that CCS
|
|
to you. As consumers, you have a right to that source code. Look in
|
|
every manual and “Legal Notices” section of every product you
|
|
buy. If you see an offer, follow the instructions and <strong>request
|
|
that CCS</strong>! If you don't get it, or they give you the run-around,
|
|
then <a href="#reporting">report the violation to us</a>!</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="reporting">Reporting GPL Violations To Us</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are aware of a license violation or compliance issue regarding any
|
|
copyleft license, such as the AGPL, GPL or LGPL,
|
|
please <a href="mailto:compliance@sfconservancy.org">contact us by email at
|
|
<compliance@sfconservancy.org></a>.</p>

<!--- FIXME: bkuhn is rewriting this blog post fresh the weekend of --
|
|
2020-07-18 so we need not link to ebb.org anymore when we roll out
|
|
these changes ... which never happened, still need to do that -->
|
|
|
|
<p>If you think you've found a GPL violation, we encourage you to
|
|
read <a href="http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2009/11/08/gpl-enforcement.html">this
|
|
personal blog post by our Policy Fellow, Bradley M. Kuhn</a>, about good
|
|
practices in discovering and reporting GPL violations.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="sustain">Donate to Sustain This Work</h2>
|
|
|
|

|
|
class="donate-now">donations</a> in support of our copyleft compliance work,
|
|
and we encourage you to become a <a href="/sustainer/">an official

|
