Sun Microsystems has become the main sponsor of the Free Software Foundation, founded by Richard Stallman, who is considered the ideologist of promoting free software.
“Both organizations have been advocating for free software for more than two decades, albeit in different forms and with different goals,” Simon Phipps, director of open source at Sun Microsystems, wrote about this event on his blog.
Thus, Sun, like other sponsors of the Free Software Foundation, will provide financial assistance to free software supporters in exchange for the right to use its logo on its website and advice on the GNU GPL (General Public License).
