Wie viele bekannte freie Projekte hat jetzt auch Drupal einen juristischen Arm, die „Drupal Association“. Vorteile ergeben sich daraus einige:
Creating the Drupal Association opens up a number of opportunities. For example, donations may be given to the project through a central entity, rather than to individual community members. By handling administrative tasks, such as event management, resources are freed within the community to focus on improving the Drupal project. In the future, it will also provide the opportunity for individuals and businesses to be formally recognized as supporters of the project.
