But this is open source right? There can appear a dev who would like to contribute to it, just single patch or part or whatever, will he/she will get some extra bonus from that? No. It’s obvious, coffee, time spent on software, giving Your private time to develop program. I would like to have a clear view here, If I pay for something to use, let’s name it the buy, price, order sw or something but not using “donation” as payment for something. So to get precompiled executable I need to give You a present to use the software (made an assumption I’m not a developer and I cannot build the SW from the source). According the common definition donation is a gift. But assuming You are a new user, paying donation, install the software and You dislike it, what about then? Donation refunding? It may be a point which will scare a new users from try the software. If You already know Fritzing and download the app again You may exactly know what to expect. I am not criticize the idea of paying for the software IMHO this is a saint law of developers who just want to get some benefits from the hard job.īut apart of this I have some opinion regarding this. Thanks for answers in this topic and for clarification.
