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

|
|

|
