Sponsor Tecnick.com LTD open source
June 26, 2026 · View on GitHub
I'm Nicola Asuni (Tecnick.com LTD). For over 25 years I've built and maintained open-source software, now 60+ public repositories including TCPDF (100M+ installs), tc-lib-pdf, TCExam, gogen, and VariantKey. Sponsoring keeps this shared infrastructure secure and maintained: closer to insurance on a dependency you already ship than to a donation.
- Become a sponsor: https://github.com/sponsors/tecnickcom
- Sponsors and backers: the org profile page at https://github.com/tecnickcom, and BACKERS.md
Why sponsor
- Continuity and security of the projects your products (or your dependencies) already rely on.
- Visibility: logos on the org profile page and, by relevance, in the README of the project you rely on (and on tcpdf.org for the PDF stack).
- Influence: higher tiers get priority issue triage.
Tiers
The authoritative tiers are on the Sponsors page. README placement starts at Bronze ($100/month); logo placement starts at Silver ($250/month); everything below Bronze is listed in the backers list only.
| Tier | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Individual Backer | $5/mo | Name in the backers list |
| Supporter | $50/mo | Name and link in the backers list |
| Bronze | $100/mo | Supporter + name and link in the README of the project you rely on |
| Silver | $250/mo | Bronze + your logo in that README |
| Gold | $500/mo | Silver + larger logo; priority issue triage |
| Platinum | $1,000/mo | Gold + logo and link on the project website (or tecnick.com) |
| Strategic Partner | $2,500 or $5,000/mo | Platinum + top logo placement and release-notes mention |
| Coffee (one-time) | $25 / $50 / $100 | Name in the backers list |
Strategic Partner is offered as two fixed tiers ($2,500 and $5,000/mo) or a custom amount on the Sponsors page.
How to become a sponsor
- Go to https://github.com/sponsors/tecnickcom and choose a tier (or set a custom amount).
- For README placement (Bronze and above): after sponsoring, open an issue titled
Sponsor placement: <Company>(or email info@tecnick.com) with the destination URL — and, for logo tiers (Silver and above), your logo as SVG (or high-resolution PNG with transparent background). Tell us which project you rely on so it lands in the right README. We add it once approved (see the policy below).
One-time contributions are also welcome via PayPal.
Logo and content policy
Payments cannot be pre-approved; anyone may sponsor through GitHub. Logo and link placement, however, is published at the maintainer's discretion after review.
Logo and link placement is subject to maintainer approval. We may decline or remove any logo or link at our discretion, including content that is adult, gambling, illegal, malicious, or competing without disclosure. Declining placement does not entitle a refund of past contributions; you may cancel future sponsorship at any time.
Links placed on websites carry rel="sponsored nofollow".
