<h1>Fiduciary Programme</h1>
<p>FSFE can act as the legal guardian of Free Software projects. The
Fiduciary Programme allows projects to use the <a href="fla.html">Fiduciary
License Agreement (FLA)</a> to assign copyrights to FSFE, allowing the
consolidation and effective management of their copyright status. It allows
developers to focus on making great applications rather than dealing with
legal administration.</p>
<p>FSFE makes sure projects are in a strong legal position without being
prescriptive; we don't dictate project policy or project management. Our
ob is to make sure you can do your job.</p>
<p>The details of our <a href="guidelines.html">fiduciary selection
process</a> and our <a href="fiduciary-policy.html">policies</a> are
available for review, and your comments are always welcome.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, FSFE is no longer accepting new projects under the
Fiduciary Programme at the moment, however you can use our customisable
versions of the Fiduciary License Agreement (FLA) in order to consolidate
your copyright under your own administrative umbrella. We have a page
containing customisable versions of the FLA <a href="fla.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>For more information on how to set up and manage the Fiduciary Licence Agreements please <a href="/activities/ftf/contact.html">contact us</a>.</p>
