I have been using Screen Shot Captor for about 15 years or so.
Whenever I discard my laptop, I find it difficult to use the new laptop without again down loading the software and the key. I have tried many others in the process, but each time this comes out a winner! Thank you for letting me use such a wonderful tool.

[Article] Software Below The Poverty Line

blog clipart
From an interesting article:

Most people believe that open source sustainability is a difficult problem to solve. As an open source developer myself, my own perspective to this problem was more optimistic: I believe in the donation model, for its simplicity and possibility to scale.

I decided to collect data from OpenCollective and GitHub, and take a more scientific sample of the situation. The results I found were shocking: there were two clearly sustainable open source projects, but the majority (more than 80%) of projects that we usually consider sustainable are actually receiving income below industry standards or even below the poverty threshold.
