Openwall Project's primary focus is in development of information security
related free software, information security research, publications,
and community activities aimed at making existing free software safer to use.
We also offer a number of services as a means to
try to fund said non-commercial activities.
And we accept donations.
You can make a donation online via
Affero by credit card,
via PayPal,
or when you
order Owl on a CD.
Alternatively, to donate money, hardware, or services relevant to the project,
please e-mail
<donations at openwall.com>.
Please note that donating to our projects does not grant you
any specific rights to the software we produce.
Making a donation is your chance to request further work on a particular
project we have or to request a particular feature you may be interested in.
Of course, the resulting software will remain available to everyone,
not just you.
While donations are not US tax deductible as charitable contribution,
they may be deductible as an operating expense, and if someone is
so inclined, they should ask for the advice of their accountant.
The same applies to other countries, where corporations can make
deductible donations under the terms of "Good Will".
