Benefits of patronage

by Matt Lee Contributions — Published on Apr 05, 2010 03:56 PM

Organizations show their support for the community and the mission of the FSF by giving financial help. Many of our Patrons come to the FSF because their user community or employees ask them to recognize our work.

The Free Software Foundation recognizes and appreciates our patrons in a variety of ways:

FSF Patron Logo

FSF's patrons can display the FSF patron logo on their website and other materials.

Company Name and Logo on the FSF Patron List

If desired, your company's name and logo will be listed on this site.

Complimentary Free Software Licensing Consultation

All patrons receive two complimentary hours of Free Software licensing and/or GPL consultation from FSF's GPL Compliance Lab (with a reduced rate for further consultation)

Subscription to the biannual FSF Bulletin and monthly Free Software Supporter

Keep your organization informed of what's happening in the free software world

Five T-Shirts

For your free software loving hackers — any five shirts from our online shop.

Complimentary Passes to the FSF's LibrePlanet Conference

Each patron receives two complimentary passes to FSF annual LibrePlanet conference (and a reduced rate for additional tickets).

To sign up as a patron, please write to patron@fsf.org. Patrons can also donate on our contribution page.
