 Software is critical to all of our infrastructure and as a society, we are deeply reliant on the software we use. Making sure our software is free and open is essential to knowing we'll be able to use tomorrow the solutions we invest in today.

 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

   our licensing work through 2017, including defending copyleft.  If you don't become a Supporter now,
   we will be forced to radically restructure and wind down a substantial portion
   of our operations.</p>
