Qubes OS Project Funding
|
||
|
|
========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Qubes OS is [free and open-source software][FOSS] (read about the [license]).
|
||
|
|
This means that Qubes OS is not a paid or proprietary product. We do not earn
|
||
|
|
any revenue by selling it. Instead, we rely external sources of funding and [donations][donate] from
|
||
|
|
individuals and organizations who find the work we do valuable and who in turn
|
||
|
|
rely on Qubes OS for secure computing in their work and personal lives. (Read
|
||
|
|
more about our [partners].)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We plan to fund continued Qubes OS development through a diverse mix of sources,
|
||
|
|
both in terms of the entities providing the funding and the timelines of the
|
||
|
|
funding.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We are seeking new sources of funding and welcome your help in these endeavors.
|
||
|
|
If you or your organization has relevant knowledge, experience, leads, or
|
||
|
|
resources and would like to help us secure the future of Qubes OS, please
|
||
|
|
[contact us].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Below you can find the funding of the project by year.
