Additionally, it can be noted regarding the transition of the OpenWrt project under the auspices of the Software Freedom Conservancy, which is involved in collecting and redistributing sponsorship funds and providing legal protection to free projects, allowing them to focus on the development process. Specifically, SFC takes over the functions of collecting donations, becomes the owner of project assets, and relieves developers of personal liability in case of legal disputes.
Since SFC falls under a reduced tax category, channeling funds for the development of OpenWrt through this organization will allow tax deductions when transferring donations. Projects supported by SFC include Git, Wine, Samba, QEMU, Mercurial, Boost, OpenChange, BusyBox, Inkscape, uCLibc, Homebrew, and about a dozen more free projects.
