host organization for Kosmos hosted services.< / p > < p > It acts as an infrastructure provider to the developers and users of Kosmos
software. It is appointed this role by the Kosmos co-operative, and is run by
members of the co-operative itself.< / p > < p > The foundation also accepts financial contributions on behalf of the
co-operative, both for the development and maintenance of Kosmos (and related)
software, as well as for providing hosted services to people and organizations.
As per the KIF’ s founding statutes, which are legally binding, any and all of
its funds must only be used for these purposes.< / p > < h2 id = our-mission > Our Mission< / h2 > < p > We believe that neither the development nor usage of < a href = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software > free and open-source

be entirely dependent upon select corporations or VC-funded startup companies.
