<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>
