And pay 7.5%(!) of it to a company based in the US.
When reallocating funds back after numerous project won't install some github app to claim the money collected on their behalf, are the 7.5% kept?
What is your estimate on the fraction of projects that will actually take part?
What about the huge amount of highly used projects that are not on GitHub?
- AntonyGarand 4y agoIt is my understanding that 7.5% is the cap, which should only be reached when you have very little dependencies. If you have 20 direct dependencies, each one will get 5% only, including StackAid. > When reallocating funds back after numerous project won't install some github app to claim the money collected on their behalf, are the 7.5% kept? The answer is on the site: The funds are held for 2 months, then reallocated: > A project's allocations accumulate for 2 months. If the project is not claimed by then, an automatic reallocation happens and the amount is redistributed to the other dependencies that are claimed. Reallocation occurs on a per subscription basis.
- nevernude 4y agoIt's important to note that 7.5% is the max we would make. The more direct dependencies you fund, the less we make. When we reallocate funds, the same rule applies. Our goal is to support projects outside of GitHub but we had to start somewhere and GitHub seemed like a pretty logical choice.
- postalrat 4y agoIs 7.5% still the maximum after reallocation?
- nevernude 4y agoYes it is. If there are no additional projects to fund after reallocation we will donate the remaining funds to other organizations/charities.
- remram 4y agoIs this in addition to a credit card processing fee? I can't find detailed ToS on your site but surely you don't eat those fees in exchange for a variable allocation?
