FTF: Fiduciary Programme
The FTF can act as the legal guardian of Free Software projects. The FSFE Fiduciary Programme allows projects to use the Fiduciary License Agreement (FLA) to assign copyrights to FSFE, allowing the consolidation and effective management of their copyright status. This allows developers to focus on making great applications, without worrying about legal stuff.
Our approach can be summarised in a sentence. The FTF makes sure projects are in a strong legal position without being prescriptive; we don't dictate project policy or project management. Our job is to make sure you can do your job.
The details of our fiduciary selection process and our policies are available for review.
You can also adapt the Fiduciary License Agreement (FLA) to consolidate your copyright under your own administrative umbrella. We have a page containing customisable versions of the FLA here.
