Don't know much about this group, but this seems like a worthwhile cause to contribute to

Pretty sure they wrote the AGPL licence

Edit:

They didn't

The GPL licenses were all written by the free software foundation for the GNU project. But that doesn't make it less worthwhile to contribute to this cause, too :)

Written by a company, Funambol.

Approved as open source by the Open Source Initiative.

Published by the Free Software Foundation.

Yeh, I realise now I misinterpreted an article I read

[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, they’re a nonprofit that provides legal support to open source projects.

Ah, ok. I must've misinterpreted an article I was reading then. Thanks for the clarification!
