I'm somewhat surprised, given that hosting cURL used to be their primary selling point for their OSS offering[citation needed].
But, they haven't replied to my support emails in ~6 months.
For context: Travis announced a migration from travis-ci.org to travis-ci.com[0] and gradually cut off resources from travis-ci.org to encourage people to migrate[1].
Without notice, they changed the pricing scheme (both for free and paid customers) to a level which effectively meant all OSS projects would have to pay significant amounts of money[2], migrate, or request credits on a monthly basis. The terms for registering as a FOSS project excluded a significant amount of projects, and despite offering a free tier, I didn't know of a developer which this was granted for (until now).
I don't expect that Travis hosts any major OSS projects at this point.

- devwastaken 5y agoAny free service held up by fundraising will eventually run out of money and end that service. People forget the dozens of photo and video hosting sites that all went under. Photobucket is a big one. Eventually the money has to dry up, and services like Cloudflare wont be free unless they turn a big profit.
