[Ardour-Users] Alternative income source?

[Thomas Mulot]

Hi all,

While you're at it: Have you taken a look at liberapay? They are a french 
nonprofit that seems made for free software projects. For me, they have the 
great advantage that they are able to simply charge a european bank account 
via direct debit - no need for a paypal account or a credit card.

Among others, FalkTX, Librazik and LSP use it, if you want to ask them about 
their experiences.

Thomas
