Gentoo becomes a Software In the Public Interest project |
 |
The Gentoo project become a Software In The Public Interest project earlier this year. This move will help the project unload some of its housekeeping and will offer some benefits to the distribution's users. FOSS Force reports: "As of March, Gentoo Linux has signed up and been accepted as a project of Software in the Public Interest. For Gentoo, this means the organization will eventually be able to do away with the Gentoo Foundation, which till now has been tasked with all of the nontechnical issues associated with running an organization, such as keeping the rent paid, the lights on, and the tax man happy.
For Gentoo users, this means their distro will be on a better economic footing, partly because they'll be saving a lot because SPI will be doing a lot of the work that the Gentoo Foundation currently has to spend money to get done, and partly because they're likely to see increased donations since donating to Gentoo is suddenly tax deductible, which its never been before." |
