libssh would like to become a member of the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC)

[Andreas Schneider <asn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

the libssh project would like to become a member of the Software Freedom 
Conservancy (SFC) [1]. Software Freedom Conservancy is a nonprofit 
organization centered around ethical technology. It would provide the libssh 
project a legal home. Also this way we would be able to accept donations or 
bounties [2]. Currently we donate the money to the SFC. As a member the 
project would keep the money (-10% which still would go to the SFC).

The libssh team has requested a membership to the SFC and we have been 
accepted.

Aris, Jakub and me drafted the SFC membership agreement which is attached to 
that mail. In case you wonder about the filename, personal addresses have been 
redacted from this version of the document.

The agreement is between the SFC and the biggest contributors to the project 
[3].

We would like to discuss this step with the community. Please read the 
document and raise any concerns you have.


Best regards


	Andreas
