I hope that you sponsor the rclone project given that it’s the core of your business! I couldn’t find any indication online that you do give back to the project. I hope I’m wrong.

[coreylane]

I'm certainly planning on sponsoring the project as soon as possible, but so far I have zero paying customers, hopefully that will change soon

[znnajdla]

first thing that popped into my mind is that your free plan is crazy generous. cut it out.

[sneak]

Gifts do not confer obligation. If you give me a screwdriver and I use it to run my electrical installation service business, I don’t owe you a payment.

This idea that one must “give back” after receiving a gift freely given is simply silly.

[burnte]

Yes but thank-yous are always good. Making sure the project sticks around is just smart.

If your neighbor kept baking and giving you cookies, to the point where you were wrapping and reselling them at the market, don't you think you should do something for them in return?

[stronglikedan]

that's just creepy and hella presumptuous

[asacrowflies]

Yeah I've seen this pop up in foss a lot lately and I don't like it.

[hsbauauvhabzb]

I certainly hope you give back to projects you use too.

[jfbaro]

Me too!
