WiX Toolset Open Source Maintenance Fee
Open Source Software is free, but maintaining an Open Source Project is expensive. A lot is asked of the maintainers of this project, including:

Triage issues
Keep build scripts working
Update software dependencies
Track security reports
Produce new releases
Tackle spam in the discussion forums and issue trackers
Maintain signing certificates
And many, many other chores

The Open Source Maintenance Fee is a simple and sensible way to pay for the time and effort they spend sustaining a project.
If you, your organization, or your project makes money, select the monthly payment tier that applies to the size of your organization.

FAQ
Q: Who pays the fee?

All individuals and organizations that generate revenue and all government agencies that use an Open Source Project which requires a Maintenance Fee must pay the fee. Also, Open Source Projects that require a Maintenance Fee, must pay any fees required by their dependencies.

Q: Do I have to pay the fee for each product in my organization?

No. An organization only needs to pay the fee once and all of its products are covered.

Q: Do I have to pay the fee if my organization makes money but our product that uses the project is offered for free?

Yes. See the GitHub invoice documentation for its requirements.

Q: Do I have to pay additional for newer versions of the project?
