About

+ +

The Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization +that promotes the use and development of free and open source software by +providing a range of pro-bono services to Free, Libre and Open Source +Software (FLOSS) projects.

+ +

We hold, protect and manage copyrights and trademarks for FLOSS +projects. Conservancy aims to act as long-term caretakers for our member +projects, ensuring that free software stays free.

+ +

Conservancy frees FLOSS projects to concentrate on what they do best: +writing code. We do this by shouldering some of the administrative burden +that comes with running a FOSS project. Our fiscal sponsorship program +gives projects all the benefits of a not-for-profit structure without the +overhead of managing a corporation. We can help projects with +organizational structure, contributor's license agreements, financial +controls, accounting, fund-raising and more.

+ +

In addition to our relationship with individual projects, Conservancy +facilitates communication and coordination between FLOSS projects. We act +as a central store of knowledge and experience and help advance the goals +of both individual FOSS projects and the movement as a whole.

+ +

If we might be able to help your FLOSS project, email us +at conservancy@softwarefreedom.org.
