About SME Server |
| 13 |
|
================ |
| 14 |
|
|
| 15 |
|
SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium |
| 16 |
|
enterprises. SME Server is brought to you by SME Server, Inc. |
| 17 |
|
( http://www.smeserver.org/ ), a non-profit corporation that exists to |
| 18 |
|
provide marketing and legal support for SME Server. |
| 19 |
|
|
| 20 |
|
SME Server is freely available under the GNU General Public License |
| 21 |
|
and is only possible through the efforts of the SME Server community. |
| 22 |
|
However, the availability and quality of SME Server is dependent on |
| 23 |
|
meeting our expenses, such as hosting costs, server hardware, etc. |
| 24 |
|
|
| 25 |
|
As such, we ask for a small donation to offset costs and fund further |
| 26 |
|
development. |
