Software Freedom Conservancy announces donation matching

Software Freedom Conservancy, the non-profit charity home of QEMU, Git, Inkscape, and many other free and open source software projects is running its annual fundraiser. They have announced a generous donation matching pledge so donations made until January 15th 2021 will be doubled! Full details are here.

What makes Software Freedom Conservancy important, besides being a home for numerous high-profile free and open source software projects, is that it is backed by individuals and works for the public interest. It is not a trade association funded by companies to represent their interests. With the success of free and open source software it's important we don't lose these freedoms or use them just to benefit businesses. That's why I support Software Freedom Conservancy.
