The Squid Software Foundation
The Foundation was incorporated as a Colorado, USA non-profit in 2011 and is currently awaiting approval for a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.
Squid Software Foundation exists to support Squid developer and user communities by providing community governance and representation; logistical and administrative assistance; infrastructure resources; as well as copyright ownership and licensing authority. Squid software is developed by volunteers and is offered to everybody under a well-known GNU General Public License (GPL), which encourages free software sharing and reuse. We do not charge in any manner for our software, and anybody can download, use, and modify Squid.
The Foundation primary purpose is facilitation of Squid Project activities. The Foundation itself does not write code or help users, but it will provide the infrastructure and support framework for Squid developers and users.
Sponsorship Program
Squid Sponsorship Program is the official avenue for substantial, non-directed monetary contributions to the Foundation. Sponsorship levels are defined by donation amount:
- $10000 and above (platinum)
- $5000 (gold)
- $3000 (silver)

Squid Donation Program
