  About SME Server
  ================
  SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium
  enterprises. SME Server is brought to you by Koozali Foundation, Inc.,
  a non-profit corporation that exists to provide marketing and legal support
  for SME Server.
  SME Server is freely available under the GNU General Public License and
  is only possible through the efforts of the SME Server community.
  However, the availability and quality of SME Server is dependent on
  meeting our expenses, such as hosting costs, server hardware, etc.
  As such, we ask for a donation to offset costs and fund further development.
  a) If you are a school, a church, a non-profit organisation or an individual
  using SME Server for private purposes, we would appreciate you to contribute
  within your means toward the costs associated with hosting, maintenance and
  development.
  b) If you are a company or an integrator and you are deploying SME Server in
  the course of your work to generate revenue, we expect you to make a donation
  commensurate with the level of revenue you generate and the number of servers
  your have in the field. Please, help the project
  Please visit http://wiki.contribs.org/Donate to donate.
  Koozali Inc is happy to supply an invoice for any donations received,
  simply email treasurer@koozali.org
  Thanks

  The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved
  themselves with this release.
