<p>Software Freedom Conservancy is a not-for-profit organization that
 
  helps promote, improve, develop, and defend Free, Libre, and Open Source
 
  Software (FLOSS) projects.  Conservancy provides a non-profit home and
 
  infrastructure for FLOSS projects.  This allows FLOSS developers to
 
  focus on what they do best &mdash; writing and improving FLOSS for the
 
  general public &mdash; while Conservancy takes care of the projects' needs that
 
  do not relate directly to software development and documentation.</p>
 

	
 
<p>FLOSS projects whose <a href="/members/apply">applications are
 
    accepted</a> become part of the Software Freedom Conservancy
 
    (akin to a separate department of a large agency).  Once joined, the
 
    <a href="/members">&ldquo;member project&rdquo;</a> receives most of
 
    the benefits of existing as a non-profit corporate entity without
 
    engaging in the arduous work of forming a separate, new organization.
 
    Conservancy aggregates the work of running a FLOSS non-profit

  member projects.  Member projects can take directed donations, which
 
  allows donors to earmark their donations for the benefit of a specific
 
  FLOSS project.  Conservancy provides fiscal oversight to ensure that
 
  these funds are spent in a manner that advances the project and fits
 
  with Conservancy's 501(c)(3) mission to promote, advance, and defend software freedom.</p>
 

	
 
<p>If the member project's leaders want, Conservancy can also hold other
 
  assets and titles on behalf of the projects, such as copyrights,
 
  trademarks, domain names, online hosting accounts, and title and ownership
 
  of physical hardware.  Also at discretion of the project's leaders,
 
  Conservancy can assist in defending the rights represented in these
 
  assets.  For example, Conservancy is available to assist member projects
