A sponsor is someone who donates money or resources to the curl project for no specific service in return.
curl accepts donations via GitHub sponsors and Open Collective.
An even better way to contribute to the project might be to pay an engineer or two to spend work hours on curl related tasks.
We promise to use donated funds for things and activities that we believe are beneficial for the project and its development. That includes but is not limited to bug-bounties, developer conferences, infrastructure, development, services and hardware.
Recurring donations above a certain amount of money puts the sponsor at a named sponsor level: Silver, Gold, Platinum or Top.
Sponsors on a named level can provide their logo image and preferred URL and get recognition on the curl website's sponsor page.
A named level sponsor is entitled a logo and link on the curl website assuming the company, brand and link are not deemed unsuitable. The curl team reserves the right to make that decision at its own discretion.
Sponsors may be denied a website presence for example if involved with drugs, gambling, pornography, social media manipulation etc.
Sponsors that stop paying are considered Past Sponsors and are not displayed on the sponsor page anymore. We thank you for your contributions!
