It is expected that all developers become a Patron to use NServiceBusExtensions. Go to licensing FAQ
Support this project by becoming a Sponsor. The company avatar will show up here with a website link. The avatar will also be added to all GitHub repositories under the NServiceBusExtensions organization.
Thanks to all the backing developers. Support this project by becoming a patron.
It is expected that all developers become a Patron to use any of these libraries.
It is an honesty system with no code or legal enforcement. When raising an issue or a pull request, the GitHub Id may be checked to ensure they are a patron, and that issue/PR may be closed without further examination. This process will depend on the issue quality, your circumstances, and the impact on the larger user base. If a individual or organization has no interest in the long term sustainability of the project, then they are legally free to ignore the honesty system.

All projects are under the MIT License
Using any OSS license in a modified form causes significant problems with adoption of tools. There is no simplified guidance on using modified licenses. For example they are not included in choose a license or tldr legal. It often forces an organization to obtain approval from a legal department. It means any consuming tools need to ensure that the modified license does not propagate in an undesirable way.
Yes in theory this is true, however the long term reality has shown this not to be the case. The vast majority of consumers of open source projects do not contribute enough to ensure those project survive. This results in a small core team spending large amounts of their own free time maintaining projects.
Yes all projects are under MIT and you can ignore the community backing honesty system and use these project for free.
Yes. You must be a Patron to be a user of the below NuGet packages. Contributing Pull Requests does not cancel this out. It may seem unfair to expect people both contribute PRs and also financially back this project. However it is important to remember the effort in reviewing and merging a PR is often similar to that of creating the PR. Also the project maintainers are committing to support that added code (feature or bug fix) for the life of the project.
There are two options for an organization.
- Apply a multiplier to the Patron cost. The Patron tier has no upper bound on the monthly amount. This allows an organization with multiple developers to pay a single monthly price. For example: An organization with 5 developers would pay $25 per month, i.e. 5 x $5 per patron. An organization with 10 developers would pay $50 per month, i.e. 10 x $5 per patron and so on.
- Create an Open Collective organization A organization can Create an Open Collective organization and then allow their developers to draw on the funds from that organization. See FAQ for backers. This is the recommended option as it also opens up the opportunity for developers to select other projects they feel need support.
No. Only those coding against projects that directly, or indirectly, consume any of the NuGet packages listed below.
Yes, since the only point of (optional) enforcement is when an issue or PR is raised, then legally an organization can ignore the honesty system and route all issues and PRs though a single GitHub user account. However if a single GitHub user account is drawing on significant time to support, they may be requested to purchase some hourly support.
It is be expected that the core team of maintainers of any open source projects that consume/extend these libraries would become Patrons. Non core contributors do not need to become Patrons.
No license is required on production systems.
Yes.
Consumers of that wrapper should also become Patrons.
