Tutanota, a leading end-to-end encrypted mail service, is giving free premium subscriptions to open-source developers.

Online privacy matters. And, people associated with open-source projects prefer using privacy-focused solutions for the same reason.

If you are a part of an open-source project (project lead or an active contributor) older than 30 days, you can get free premium accounts for all your team members.

## Eligibility for Free Premium Account

To apply, you have to fulfill the following simple requirements: 

- You have to be the project’s leader/manager or a core contributor. However, your project should be at least 30 days old.
- Your project must use a standard open-source license. Most importantly, it must not be commercial.
- Additionally, your project should not impose charges for support or get payments from contributors.

If you think you meet the criteria, you should email Tutanota (**press@tutao.de**) from your GitHub email address or your project’s website-linked custom email address. 

Make sure to include the project’s name, a short description of your project, and a link to your project website in the email content.

You can verify more details in the [official announcement](https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/tutanota-for-open-source-teams/?ref=itsfoss.com).

## Tutanota Premium Account Benefits

Unlike getting a separate premium subscription, you get a few perks if you are an eligible open-source project:

- You can register as many users as your project needs within one renewable year of Tutanota Premium, and manage all their encrypted mailboxes and calendars.
- You can use Tutanota applications on Linux/GNU, the web, Android, Mac, Windows, and iOS.
- If your project still meets the requirements after a year, you can renew your subscription for free by sending an email again.

In case you did not know about Tutanota’s premium tier, here’s what you will get:

- 1 GB of storage
- Multiple custom domains
- Unlimited search
- Multiple calendars
- 5 aliases
- Inbox rules
- Support via email
- Autoresponder
- Event invites
- Share calendars

## Wrapping Up

In case you missed it, [1Password also gives free premium subscriptions](https://news.itsfoss.com/1password-free-subscriptions/?ref=itsfoss.com) to eligible open-source projects.

It looks like if you are making genuine efforts in an open-source project, various companies want to reward you with something or the other. 

Tutanota is a company that focuses entirely on open-source technologies. So, promoting the use of an open-source encrypted email service is a good thing, after all.
