The world today is powered increasingly by Free Software. But what many


			




	
	
	
		
 
people don't realize is how much support is needed to keep all of these


			




	
	
	
		
 
projects free and open. The work that we do every day ensures the success and


			




	
	
	
		
 
the continued freedom of the projects that the developers of our member


			




	
	
	
		
 
projects dedicate themselves to. Projects like Git, Samba,


			




	
	
	
		
 
Wine, BusyBox, QEMU, Inkscape, Selenium, and dozens more.</p>


			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
<p>We are asking for you


			




	
	
	
		
 
  to <a href="#donate-box" class="donate-now">join us and become a


			




	
	
	
		
 
    Conservancy Supporter</a> but this is more than our usual annual


			




	
	
	
		
 
  fundraising appeal.  As described in more detail below, after the events 

			




	
	
	
		
 
  of 2015, we must substantially increase our individual support to be able 

			




	
	
	
		
 
  to continue defending software freedom for our member projects and the 

			




	
	
	
		
 
  entire free and open source software community.  We needed at least 750 

			




	
	
	
		
 
  of you to become annual Supporters just to continue our basic community


			




	
	
	
		
 
  services, and we thank you so much that you responded.  But 

			




	
	
	
		
 
  we still need 2,500 (total) of you to become annual Supporters now to continue


			




	
	
	
		
 
  our licensing work, including enforcing copyleft licenses.  If you don't become a Supporter now,


			




	
	
	
		
 
  we will be forced to radically restructure and wind down a substantial portion

Software Freedom Conservancy has had a lot of major successes this year:


			




	
	
	
		
 
<ul>


			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
<li>We brought four new projects under the protection of 

			




	
	
	
		
 
Conservancy: <a href="/news/2015/jul/23/qemu-joins/">QEMU</a>,


			




	
	
	
		
 
  the generic machine emulator and


			




	
	
	
		
 
virtualizer, <a href="https://www.bro.org/">The Bro Network Security


			




	
	
	
		
 
Monitor</a>, the <a href="http://www.godotengine.org/">Godot Game Engine</a>,


			




	
	
	
		
 
and <a href="http://outreachy.org">Outreachy</a>, a program dedicated to


			




	
	
	
		
 
helping people from underrepresented groups get involved in free and open


			




	
	
	
		
 
source software. We also worked with the Debian community to launch


			




	
	
	
		
 
the <a href="/news/2015/aug/17/debian/">Debian


			




	
	
	
		
 
Copyright Aggregation Project</a> at their request.</li>


			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
<li>We <a href="/news/2015/mar/05/vmware-lawsuit/">supported


			




	
	
	
		
 
the lawsuit</a> Christoph Hellwig has brought against VMware in Germany, the


			




	
	
	
		
 
first case on derivative works and the GPL.</li>


			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
<li>We fought for


			




	
	
	
		
 
and <a href="/news/2015/oct/27/DMCA-win/">successfully


			




	
	
	
		
 
earned an exemption from the Library of Congress in the DMCA review

ensuring that you are free to hack on the devices that you legally own. </li>


			




	
	
	
		
 

			




	
	
	
		
 
<li>We collaborated with the <a href="https://fsf.org/">Free Software

the FCC to fix its proposed rules</a> restricting third-party modification of
