I-Free Project Hosting Sourceware ijoyine i-Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC), ehlinzeka ngokuvikeleka okusemthethweni kwamaphrojekthi amahhala, ephoqelela ilayisensi ye-GPL, futhi inyuse izimali zoxhaso.
I-SFC ivumela amalungu ukuthi agxile ohlelweni lokuthuthukisa ngokuthatha indima yokuqongelela imali. I-SFC iphinde ibe umnikazi wezimpahla zephrojekthi futhi ikhulule abathuthukisi esikweletini somuntu siqu uma kwenzeka icala. Kubanikeli, inhlangano ye-SFC ikuvumela ukuthi uthole ukudonswa kwentela, njengoba iwela esigabeni esikhethekile sentela. Amaphrojekthi asekelwayo e-SFC ahlanganisa i-Git, Iwayini, i-Samba, i-QEMU, i-OpenWrt, i-CoreBoot, i-Mercurial, i-Boost, i-OpenChange, i-BusyBox, i-Godot, i-Inkscape, i-uCLibc, i-Homebrew, namanye amaphrojekthi amahhala angaba yishumi nambili.
Kusukela ngo-1998, iphrojekthi ye-Sourceware ibihlinzeka ngamaphrojekthi omthombo ovulekile ngenkundla yokubamba kanye nezinsizakalo ezihlobene ezihlobene nokugcina uhlu lwamakheli, ukubamba amakhosombe we-git, iziphazamisi zokulandelela (bugzilla), ukubukeza amapheshi (patchwork), ukwakha kokuhlola (buildbot) nokusabalalisa okukhishiwe. Uhlaka lwe-Sourceware lusetshenziselwa ukusabalalisa nokuthuthukisa amaphrojekthi afana ne-GCC, Glibc, GDB, Binutils, Cygwin, LVM2, elfutils, bzip2, SystemTap, neValgrind. Kulindeleke ukuthi ukungena kwe-Sourceware ku-SFC kuzoheha amavolontiya amasha ukuthi asebenze ekusingatheni futhi aqoqe imali yokwenziwa kwesimanjemanje nokuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda ye-Sourceware.
Ukuze uxhumane ne-SFC, i-Sourceware isungule ikomidi eliqondisayo elihlanganisa abameleli abayi-7. Ngokuvumelana nesivumelwano, ukuze kugwenywe ukungqubuzana kwezithakazelo, ikomidi alikwazi ukuba namalungu angaphezu kwamabili ahlotshaniswa nenkampani noma inhlangano eyodwa (ngaphambilini, umnikelo oyinhloko wokusekelwa kwe-Sourceware wawuhlinzekwa ngabasebenzi be-Red Hat, ephinde yahlinzeka ngemishini iphrojekthi, eyavimbela ukukhanga kwabanye abaxhasi futhi yabangela izingxabano mayelana nokuncika ngokweqile kwenkonzo enkampanini eyodwa).
