- +## Business users + +If your business distributes rclone as part of its products (which the +generous MIT licence allows) or uses it internally then it would make +business sense to sponsor the rclone project to ensure that the +project you rely on stays healthy and well maintained. + +If you run one of the cloud storage providers that rclone supports and +rclone is driving revenue your way then you know it makes sense to +sponsor the project + +Note that GitHub sponsors will provide proper tax invoices appropriate +for your country. + +## Monthly donations + +Monthly donations help keep rclone development sustainable in the long +run so this is our preferred option. A small amount every month is +much better for us than a one off donation as it alows us to plan for +the future. + +
