Hi

Software Freedom Conservancy is the legal backer of Inkscape, but it is at risk of shutting down :( 

You can help make it sustainable by joining as a member for $120/year - just 14 people are needed! :) 

SFC is a not-for-profit charity that helps promote, improve, develop, and defend Free, Libre, and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects. Conservancy provides a non-profit home and infrastructure for FLOSS projects. This allows FLOSS developers to focus on what they do best — writing and improving FLOSS for the general public — while Conservancy takes care of the projects' needs that do not relate directly to software development and documentation.

http://sfconservancy.org/members/current/ lists the projects that they support, and the following are relevant to libre graphics:
  • Inkscape
  • Git 
  • BOOST - a programming framework used in Inkscape
  • SWIG - another programming framework used in Inkscape, that enables Python scripting
  • K-3D - 3d modeling app
  • Outreachy - helps people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software get involved
Just 14 more people needed to meet their membership goal this month, since those who sign up by January 31 count twice, thanks to Private Internet Access.

Please consider joining as a member :)
