@@ -50,25 +50,35 @@ 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>.</p>
 
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>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>
