17 (OSF) is incorporated in the the state of Delaware, United States,
18 as a non-profit corporation. It does not qualify as a tax-exempt
19 charitable organisation under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S.
20 Internal Revenue Code. We looked into it and concluded that
21 501(c)(3) status would require more of an investment in time and
22 money than we can justify at present. This means that, for
23 individuals within the U.S., donations to the OSF are not
24 tax-deductible. Corporate donations can of course be written off
25 as a business expense.</p>
27 <p>In addition to direct financial contributions in the form of
28 donations or sponsorship you may also support the OpenSSL project
29 financially with the purchase of a

31 for consulting services or custom software development. We

33 such funding, whether donations or pay for services rendered, for
34 the same purpose -- to improve and maintain the OpenSSL
