I've recently lost my largest source of income allowing to work on Dear ImGui. It's a bit worrying but not short-term critical yet, as last years I've pushed hard to get other teams on board, contributing via various sponsoring, support contracts, test engine licenses etc.

I'm thankful to everyone who allowed keeping the lib permissive & open source for many years. I do 100% intend to keep it as such. If your team relies on it, consider reaching out to discuss ways of supporting the software.

@ocornut Didn't you used to have a Patreon page (that I supported)? Is that not a viable way?
@grumpygamer I closed the Patreon four years ago because I had evidence it created a perception where large companies would aim lower when doing financial contributions. Nowadays I mostly do B2B invoices for eg sponsoring yearly or whatever works best in context, when there’s a will there’s always a path :)
@ocornut is there a way for a person to pretend they are business and do some sponsorship? (asking for a friend)
@aras Aww <3 I sort of didn't want to pester you again, but same scheme is possible, let's e-mail!
@aras @ocornut The Supreme Court ruled corporations are people.
@grumpygamer @ocornut ah! but are people corporations?
@aras @grumpygamer @ocornut after about $10 to the county clerks office, and a short form, yep :D
@aras @ocornut Terrible Toybox is a s-corp, so in a lot of ways it's indistinguishable from me.

@ocornut
I wonder if getting income from my open source projects would have lead to me working on them more. I guess we'll never know =)

You, on the other hand, definitely deserve being compensated on your work on imgui.
