Out of curiosity, why not buy/subscribe to the commercial version then, if this is the clear path for how to support the primary developers of the software?

- cowmix 3y agoI don't like the subscription options they offer. I just want to throw them $50 a year for the CE version -- which I would think is better than $0 a year I'm giving them now.
- evanelias 3y agoFrom my POV, $50/year is not necessarily better than $0. Open source "donations" to open core / commercial OSS businesses typically don't amount to much in total. It's basically a rounding error for most businesses, with the extra downside of accounting/tax tracking. And although many FOSS financial contributors understand that this is a no-strings-attached type of situation, a small portion become very demanding and have unreasonable expectations due to being a supporter. I mean I kind of get where you're coming from, but on the other hand... outside of software, would you ever praise a product as an amazing life-saver, but express a beef with the makers' lack of a pocket-change GoFundMe?
