@Edent For my #Faikout project (www.faikout.uk) the best way to financially support the project is buy the Faikout boards I sell. There are others that make and sell (big in Australia), and there are a small number of s/w contributors to the project who could, if they wish, make and sell to get some money. But the money for the selling of the boards is clearly for the person making the boards, and so, I hope, avoids any possible argument.
I agree it is tricky though.
