Overview

The Open Source to Protect Code from Corporate Enclosures initiative exists to defend the independence of essential software. This project, Protect Open Source Code from Corporate Enclosures, champions open collaboration, transparent governance, and continuous security review. Our goal is to sustain tooling that remains freely accessible to developers, researchers, students, and organizations worldwide, free from unilateral enclosure by large entities. Your support helps keep a diverse ecosystem resilient and capable of advancing ideas that benefit everyone.

In practice, donations power maintenance cycles, tooling audits, and community-driven workstreams that keep core codebases alive and trustworthy. They enable maintainers to invest time in reviewing changes, improving tests, and documenting decisions so that newcomers can contribute with confidence. By supporting this project, you help ensure that open source remains a shared public good rather than a product controlled by a few corporations.
