+NUT and the ecosystem
+---------------------
+
+NUT comes pre-packaged for many operating systems and embedded in storage,
+automation or virtualization appliances, and is also often shipped as the
+software companion by several UPS vendors. Of course, it is quite normal
+and supported to build your own -- whether for an operating system which
+lacks it yet, or for an older distribution which lacks the current NUT
+version; whether to take advantage of new features or to troubleshoot a
+new UPS deployment with a debugger in hand.
+
+Given its core position at the heart of your systems' lifecycle, we make
+it a point to have current NUT building and running anywhere, especially
+where older releases did work before (including "abandonware" like the
+servers and OSes from the turn of millennium): if those boxes are still
+alive and in need of power protection, they should be able to get it.
+
+TIP: If you like how the NUT project helps protect your systems from power
+outages, please consider sponsoring or at least "starring" it on GitHub at
+https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/ - these stars are among metrics
+which potential sponsors consider to help FOSS projects. Keeping the lights
+shining in such a large non-regression build matrix is a big undertaking!
+
+As a FOSS project, for over a quarter of a century we welcome contributions
+of both core code (drivers and other features), build recipes and other
+integration elements to make it work on your favourite system, documentation
+revisions to make it more accessible to newcomers, as well as hardware vendor
+cooperation with first-hand driver and protocol submissions, and just about
+anything else you can think of.
