Vincent,
At the moment, Yorba is entirely supported by donations from myself (the
founder) and a growing list of others who wish to support our projects.
We are not able to pay our team members as much as they would make at
for-profit software companies, but we are fortunate that they have
generously decided to work for us anyway in the spirit of contributing
to free software. :)
In the future we hope to help support ourselves by doing consulting work
related to our projects, but that remains only a future hope at this
time. :)
cheers
adam

Hi,
I have just read a great french
article<http://www.zdnet.fr/actualites/libre-et-gratuit-le-logiciel-libre-et-l-argent-39755963.htm#xtor=RSS-8>about
free softwares and their business model, and now I wonder: what is the
model beyond yorba. I have understand that you have a team of 5 peoples, and
I guess that they are payed to develop the core of shotwell (among other
things). I wonder from where the money come from, has shotwell is (and will
be forever) totally free of charge.
Am I wrong? Can you explain me how it works?
Best regards,
