Supporter
Individuals and teams who want to fund dctx.
- Sponsorship through GitHub Sponsors
- Your logo in the README
- No service commitments
Maintenance
Free to use. Paid maintenance keeps it healthy.
dctx is Apache-2.0 open source, free for any use including commercial use. A maintenance agreement pays for security response, long-term support and priority work. Paying never changes the license and never closes a feature.
Three ways to support dctx
Team
For one organisation that depends on dctx.
- Security response: critical 72 hours, high 7 days, medium next release
- Long-term support: backported fixes for 18 months after 2.0
- Priority on bug reports
- A say in the roadmap through a regular review
- Advance notice of breaking changes
- Invoice and a written maintenance commitment for procurement
Partner
For organisations that build products on dctx.
- Everything in Team
- Integration help
- A named contact
What paying never does
- Paying never changes the license. dctx stays Apache-2.0 for everyone.
- Paying never closes or paywalls a feature. Every feature stays in the open source project.
- The core (
pack) and every modality stay open. - Security reports still go through SECURITY.md, whatever your tier.
