Help Defend Software Freedom and Rights

+ +

Folks often ask us how they can help us defend the software freedoms and + rights that copyleft makes possible. There are lots of ways to help and we + believe that the entire public can help.

+ +

Request Source Code

+ +

All versions of the GPL and LGPL allow companies to make an offer + for Complete, Corresponding Source (CCS) rather than giving you + the CCS outright with the product. Sadly, many + companies make an offer with no intention of actually providing that CCS + to you. As consumers, you have a right to that source code. Look in + every manual and “Legal Notices” section of every product you + buy. If you see an offer, follow the instructions and request + that CCS! If you don't get it, or they give you the run-around, + then report the violation to us!

+ +

Reporting GPL Violations To Us

+ +

If you are aware of a license violation or compliance issue regarding any + copyleft license, such as the AGPL, GPL or LGPL, + please contact us by email at + <compliance@sfconservancy.org>.

+ + + +

If you think you've found a GPL violation, we encourage you to + read this + personal blog post by our Policy Fellow, Bradley M. Kuhn, about good + practices in discovering and reporting GPL violations.

+ +

Donate to Support This Work

+ +

Finally, Conservancy welcomes in support of our copyleft compliance work, + and we encourage you to become a an official + Supporter of Software Freedom Conservancy.
