================ |
| 42 |
SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium |
| 43 |
enterprises. SME Server is brought to you by Koozali Foundation, Inc., |
| 44 |
a non-profit corporation that exists to provide marketing and legal support |
| 45 |

SME Server is freely available under the GNU General Public License and |
| 48 |
is only possible through the efforts of the SME Server community. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
However, the availability and quality of SME Server is dependent on |
| 51 |

| 52 |
|
| 53 |
As such, we ask for a donation to offset costs and fund further development. |
| 54 |

you to contribute within your means toward the costs associated with |

hosting, maintenance and development. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
b) If you are a company or an integrator and you are deploying SME |
| 61 |
Server in the course of your work to generate revenue, we expect you to |
| 62 |
make a donation commensurate with the level of revenue you generate and |
| 63 |
the number of servers your have in the field. Please, help the project |

|
| 75 |
The spare handling for RAID arrays is not implemented as yet. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
New Server-Manager Framework, Mojolicious, is now well on the way to full implementation |
| 78 |
|
| 79 |

The work that has gone into getting SME 10 to this stage has been enormous, an attempt to list and detail the work that has been done in recent months would not do justice to the effort contributed by the following, |
