Doesn't look like Canva is a sponsor...

  They are a one-time sponsor: https://twitter.com/steveruizok/status/1641348310886670336?t=qXPKW9TdpDvNC6qRJcGM2g&s=19 https://twitter.com/steveruizok/status/1641348310886670336?t...

      Is 5K for this is a good amount? It seems generous to me but I’m also sure it’s only a drop in the bucket for Canva.

        If I was the creator of the project, I'd be happy with it. Most companies would not have donated anything.

        I’m the author of perfect-freehand. It’s a good amount and I found the whole interaction really great: I get to tease library users on twitter to sponsor me, get a bunch of engagement, and give the company the opportunity to sponsor me to get a positive boost from a happy ending. No complaints. Having my work used in a visible way by large companies does make me wish I’d productized it more. Maybe sometime I’ll release a refactored/improved version under a different license. However, I’ve also started a company around a different open source project of mine (tldraw.com) and if there’s a bag to be got, I’m sure I’ll get it there.

        Nice work and thank you for replying. I’m new(ish) to open source and was asking because I wanted the perspective of someone more experienced. I don’t have much context for what level of work goes into making something like this, nor have I any clue what it feels like to know a big company is using my work. Your reply really helped to inform my understanding of these things and like you, I’d be quite pleased with a sponsorship of that amount.
