Squeak joins the Software Freedom Conservancy

The Squeak Oversight Board is excited to announce that Squeak is now a
member of the Software Freedom Conservancy[1]. The Software Freedom
Conservancy is an organization composed of Free and Open Source Software
(FOSS) projects. As a fiscal sponsor for FOSS projects, the Conservancy
provides member projects with free financial and administrative services,
but does not involve itself with technological and artistic decisions.

By joining the Conservancy, Squeak obtains the benefits of a formal legal
structure while keeping focused on software development. The benefits of
joining the Conservancy include, most notably, the ability to collect
donations and protection from personal liability for the developers of the
project. Another benefit of joining the Conservancy is we can use it to hold
assets, which are managed by the Conservancy on behalf of and at the
direction of the Squeak Oversight Board. The Conservancy is a tax-exempt
501(c)(3) organization, so member projects can receive tax-deductible
donations to the extent allowed by law.
