@aeva I'd have gone for an option between "rarely" and "always." Some free software packages that release using a pay what you can model I've paid for many times as new releases came out. I've bought dozens of games on Itch that you can download for free if you enter $0. Etc etc- but certainly not always.

How do you find out about that? Also are these projects that you typically install through a package manager?
