WiX Toolset Open Source Maintenance Fee

Open Source Software is free, but maintaining an Open Source Project is expensive. A lot is asked of the maintainers of this project, including:

  • Triage issues
  • Keep build scripts working
  • Update software dependencies
  • Track security reports
  • Produce new releases
  • Tackle spam in the discussion forums and issue trackers
  • Maintain signing certificates
  • And many, many other chores

The Open Source Maintenance Fee is a simple and sensible way to pay for the time and effort they spend sustaining a project.

If you, your organization, or your project makes money, select the monthly payment tier that applies to the size of your organization.

FAQ

Q: Who pays the fee?

All individuals and organizations that generate revenue and all government agencies that use an Open Source Project which requires a Maintenance Fee must pay the fee. Also, Open Source Projects that require a Maintenance Fee, must pay any fees required by their dependencies.

Q: Do I have to pay the fee for each product in my organization?

No. An organization only needs to pay the fee once and all of its products are covered.

Q: Do I have to pay the fee if my organization makes money but our product that uses the project is offered for free?

Yes. The requirement to pay the Maintenance Fee is based on whether the organization generates revenue, not whether the products they offer are free or not.

Q: Can I pay by yearly invoice?

Yes. See the GitHub invoice documentation for its requirements.

Q: Do I have to pay additional for newer versions of the project?

No. As long as you pay the fee, you are entitled to all available versions.
