We're an open-core company building commercially around FreeCAD. We're leading the development of the new integrated assembly workbench and contributing to many parts of the application. We have our own build of FreeCAD which includes our latest contributions.
We're also building an optional web-based file sharing and collaboration layer.
I wonder if Ondsel would make a plan for supporters. You folks make a great job there, the UX is way easier and better, I'm very impressed.
I'd be happy to support the project but current subscription levels are too high for a hobby shop. I wonder if there is a chance for a pathreon or similar type of support.
Businesses that ask for donations don't have a long and happy life :)
What you could do instead is donate to the FreeCAD Project Association. Part of the money goes into the development fund, that is, grants for developers.
Why donations? Supporter plan, without any additional benefits or fictional ones and with a tiny price will do.
As for the FreeCAD Project Association, thanks for the tip, that's already included. I prefer to spread the butter all over the bread I'm eating, if I can say it that way.
