| General Explanation | THE SOFTWARE FREEDOM LAW CENTER ("SFLC") QUALIFIES AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED CHARITY UNDER SECTIONS 170(B)(1)(A)(VI) AND 509(A)(1) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. SFLC'S MISSION IS TO REPRESENT, PRO BONO PUBLICO, THOSE WHOSE RELATION TO FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE GENERATES NO REVENUE STREAM FROM WHICH TRADITIONAL LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND COUNSEL CAN BE PAID. SFLC SATISFIES THE DEFINITION OF AN ORGANIZATION REFERRED TO IN SECTION 170(C)(2)(B) OF THE CODE BECAUSE IT IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE CHARITABLE PURPOSE OF CARRYING OUT ITS MISSION. FURTHER, SFLC NORMALLY RECEIVES A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF ITS SUPPORT FROM DIRECT OR INDIRECT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC UNDER THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST OF REG. SEC. 1.170A-9T(F)(3). AS SHOWN IN PART II, SECTION C, SFLC RECEIVED 26.45 PERCENT OF PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR 2012, AND HAS RECEIVED GREATER THAN TEN PERCENT PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR EACH TAXABLE YEAR OF ITS EXISTENCE. SFLC IS ENABLED IN LARGE PART TO CARRY OUT ITS PUBLIC-FACING MISSION BY VOLUNTARY DONATIONS PROVIDED BY COMMERCIAL PARTIES WHO BENEFIT FROM FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE IN THEIR BUSINESSES, AND WHO APPRECIATE THAT ALL PARTIES ARE BETTER OFF WHEN THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE SOFTWARE CAN MAKE IT SAFELY. THESE DONATIONS DO NOT UNDULY INFLUENCE SFLC. IN FACT, MANY OF SFLC'S LARGE DONORS DIRECTLY COMPETE WITH ONE ANOTHER. IN ADDITION TO THIS SUPPORT, SFLC ALSO RECEIVES DONATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS AND GRANT MAKING ORGANIZATIONS. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2005, SFLC HAS ACTIVELY SOUGHT AND RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM THE PUBLIC AND THE COMMUNITY WHICH IT SERVES -- NON-PROFIT MAKERS AND DISTRIBUTORS OF FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. SFLC CURRENTLY REPRESENTS MANY OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AND WELL-ESTABLISHED FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE PROJECTS. SFLC'S ACTIVITIES MOSTLY INVOLVE ADVISING, COUNSELING, AND REPRESENTING CLIENTS IN FURTHERANCE OF ITS MISSION, ATTRACT SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, MEMBERS OF THE FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE COMMUNITY, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. AS SET FORTH IN REG. SEC. 1.170A-9T(F)(3)(II), SFLC MAINTAINS A CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR THE SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND THE FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE COMMUNITY WHICH IT SERVES. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, SFLC HAS RECEIVED 564 DONATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS, THE VAST MAJORITY OF WHICH ARE UNDER $500. SFLC HAS ASKED FOR THESE DONATIONS ON ITS WEBSITE AND IN ITS EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS THAT ARE FREELY DISTRIBUTED FOR USE BY THE PUBLIC. TO INCREASE ITS PUBLIC SUPPORT TESTS, SFLC HAS ALSO SENT OUT ANNUAL APPEAL LETTERS TO A BROAD AUDIENCE. SFLC IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPRISED OF EXPERTS AND LEADERS IN THE FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE COMMUNITY WHO REPRESENT A BROAD CROSS-SECTION OF THE VIEWS AND INTERESTS OF THE COMMUNITY. ALL OF THE DIRECTORS THAT HAVE SERVED ON SFLC'S BOARD HAVE BEEN INDEPENDENT AND NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY OF ITS DONORS. ALL OF SFLC'S CURRENT DIRECTORS HAVE EITHER ACADEMIC OR NONPROFIT AFFILIATIONS AND FORMER DIRECTORS HAVE GONE ON TO TAKE GOVERNMENT AND ACADEMIC POSITIONS. SFLC IS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION OF ITS KIND IN THE WORLD, COMPLETELY DEDICATED TO PROVIDING FREE LEGAL COUNSEL AND REPRESENTATION TO INDIVIDUALS AND NON-PROFIT MAKERS AND DISTRIBUTORS OF FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. SFLC PROVIDES ENHANCED LONG-TERM LEGAL STABILITY TO THE FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE COMMUNITY BY CONTINUING TO SUPPORT THE MORE THAN 50 KEY FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE PROJECTS THAT HAVE COME TO RELY ON ITS LICENSING, COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK, NONPROFIT CORPORATE AND TAX LEGAL ADVICE. MANY OF SFLC'S CLIENTS ARE ALSO INCORPORATED AS NONPROFITS AND RECOGNIZED AS 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATIONS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. | GeneralExplanation |
