25 slords 1.1 About SME Server
26     ================
27    
28     SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium
29 wellsi 1.10 enterprises. SME Server is brought to you by Koozali Foundation, Inc.,
30     a non-profit corporation that exists to provide marketing and legal support

32 slords 1.1
33     SME Server is freely available under the GNU General Public License and
34     is only possible through the efforts of the SME Server community.
35     However, the availability and quality of SME Server is dependent on
36     meeting our expenses, such as hosting costs, server hardware, etc.
37    
38 wellsi 1.4 As such, we ask for a donation to offset costs and fund further development.
39     a) If you are a school, a church, a non-profit organisation or an individual
40     using SME Server for private purposes, we would appreciate you to contribute
41     within your means toward the costs associated with hosting, maintenance and
42 slords 1.1 development.
43 wellsi 1.4 b) If you are a company or an integrator and you are deploying SME Server in
44     the course of your work to generate revenue, we expect you to make a donation
45     commensurate with the level of revenue you generate and the number of servers
46     your have in the field. Please, help the project

55     ============
56 slords 1.1
57 wellsi 1.13 It is with the deepest regret we have to inform you that on Wednesday 11th June
58     Chris Burnat passed away. He was one of the most ardent supporters of
59     Koozali SME Server and we all owe him an enormous debt of gratitude.
60    
61     We dedicate this release of SME Server 9.0 to Chris.
62     Without him it would be nowhere near ready. If you download and use it,
63     please remember him and his work, and that of all the other contributors
64     who work tirelessly to make Koozali SME as good as it is.
65    
66     We extend our thoughts and deepest sympathies to his family.
