" summary

Organization hands out microgrants with the condition projects stay open source and funds standard work at the XMPP Foundation, the IETF and W3C. Funded efforts include GPLv3, Tor, Gnunet, Lantern, SSL Observatory, CAcert, NoScript, Jitsi, Blink and alternatives to closed platforms; money comes from a post‑1997 endowment and a fundraising pledge not to attack other open‑source users. The claim is concrete: small grants, specific projects and a simple five‑minute signup move that aims to protect hundreds of packages and seed decentralized internet work.
