U-Boot has joined Software Freedom Conservancy

We're so happy to announce that Das U-Boot, the Universal Bootloader, will be joining SFC! U-Boot is the most popular generic-purpose bootloader and is critical to ensuring that devices remain as open and free as possible. U-Boot has been essential for embedded linux products and is the de facto standard across various processor architectures.

Today, @conservancy announced #UBoot joined as a member project. Folks who watch closely know: #SFC doesn't take any #FreeSoftware project these days. When SFC started, we were just 1 of ≤ 3 #FOSS fiscal sponsors. Today, ∃ dozens of options.

In response, SFC focused its fiscal sponsorship on only the *most* important projects for the future of #SoftwareFreedom — like UBoot.

Support fiscal sponsorship for the best #copyleft projects, as an SFC Sustainer.

Software freedom is critical to many of today’s most pressing social issues, but it’s only effective when FOSS is for everyone. Support Conservancy today to help make that happen!
