+Mozilla currently relies on [[MOSS/Foundational_Technology/Projects_We_Use|a number of open source and free software projects]]. In some cases the software produced by these projects is incorporated into Mozilla products. In other cases we run it as part of our infrastructure, or Mozillians use it to get their jobs done. The Foundational Technology track is open to such projects who are in need of funds.

 ==How To Apply==
-The application form is [https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/forms/d/1Pa5IsuhT6vMUfg0HUXxr7SzrSwq5fpiZfZIJVPxN1Mc/viewform here]. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
+The application form is [https://mozilla.fluxx.io/apply/MOSS here]. For application deadline information, see the [[MOSS|main page]].
-If you are looking for a good example, you can read a successful application: [https://wiki.mozilla.org/images/b/b7/Django-application.odt Django].
+If you need help completing your application, see the list of mentors on the [[MOSS|main page]]. If you are looking for a good example, you can read the successful applications from [[Media:Django-application.odt|Django]] and [[Media:Mercurial.odt|Mercurial]].
+==FAQs==
+;What if my project doesn’t have a legal organizational home?  I see this is disfavoured, and exceptional circumstances are required. What might count as "exceptional"?
+: You tell us. If a project doesn't have a legal organizational home, we will be handing a large sum of money to an individual with only limited accountability. This means a higher level of complexity and risk. So you need to describe why it's reasonable and important for us to accept that additional risk. We will listen because Mozilla is a pretty flexible organization, but we can’t promise the result will be as you hope.
+;What about tax?
+: Recipients are responsible to determine the tax implications of receiving an award, based on their respective countries’ tax laws and compliance requirements. Amounts applied for should be sized such that any tax or other liability that will be incurred is accounted for. Mozilla reserves the right to use different payment mechanisms or tax characterisations for different awards in the MOSS program based on a number of factors specific to the award.
