We are of course incredibly grateful for the contributions we have received, all of which were spent on the project over many years. However I would note that 90%+ of all crowd funding campaign support came from license holders, the majority in the form of future license purchases. Commercial license revenue, whether crowd funded or not, was always the biggest source of funding for the open source project.

That's a bit harsh, are you forgetting the amount of money that was contributed by users to the fund raisers over the years? > $600k On Wed, Sep 1, 2021 at 2:30 PM Bernard Devlin via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > FWIW over on the forums the sentiment seems to be mostly hostile to these > changes.
