As long as they are upfront about it with the donors that seems pretty fair. If I donate money to a project but the author doesn't want/need the money then I am fine with them instead giving it to another one of my dependencies. I can imaging companies like it as well since they can immediately write off the donation, rather than wait 3 weeks to see if their money will be returned.
- charcircuit 4y agoThere is a difference between an author not wanting or needing the money and the author not even knowing the money is available. From a sibling content it sounds like projects have to opt in to donations, so this isn't as big of a deal as I originally thought.
- qwerki 4y agoIt's definitely opt in. Sorry I just noticed the FAQs weren't up to date – should be fixed now. You can see the break down of Sentry's donation at https://thanks.dev/p/gh/getsentry https://thanks.dev/p/gh/getsentry. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive from maintainers. Disclaimer I'm the founder btw.
