h1. Steering Committee: FSF and Replicant agreement

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) and developers representing the Replicant project ([[People#Denis-GNUtoo-Carikli|Denis Carikli]] and [[People#Paul-Kocialkowski|Paul Kocialkowski]]), made an "agreement":https://redmine.replicant.us/attachments/download/1600/fsf-replicant-sponsorship-agreement.pdf in 2013 that enables the FSF to conduct "fundraising":https://crm.fsf.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=19 in the name of Replicant and governs the fund usage.

In a nutshell:

* The FSF holds Replicant funds and acts like an umbrella organization.

* The person that is designed to be in contact with the FSF is Denis Carikli.

* The people responsible for fund usage decisions are Paul Kocialkowski and Denis Carikli.

Since then the agreement has been amended to:

* Allow paying for software development.

* Remove Paul Kocialkowski from the agreement, replacing him for [[People#Fil-Bergamo|Filippo Bergamo]] and [[People#Joonas-Kylmälä|Joonas Kylmälä]].

* Replace Filippo Bergamo for [[People#David-Ludovino|David Ludovino]].
