Glad they sponsored a project like curl. Projects like Blender are cool but the world is held up by packages like curl that aren't cool to sponsor.

- nwellnhof 4y agoTrue. Unfortunately, there are many projects that are even unsexier and much less prominent than curl. I happen to maintain a project which is about as ubiquitous and only receives a fraction of curl's funding.
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoI think you could be bold and reach out to these companies (directly or via notices in the README, website, docs, install logs, etc) that you maintain these libraries and need money for it. Have developers champion for it, etc. I think one of your issues is that your libraries are mainly used indirectly, e.g. a dependency on more prominent libraries / applications.
