Maybe because of the fact that they can't pay their staff, because nobody pays to use their product.

    I've paid for winrar because I decided I've used it for the better half of my life and well kindly keep using it and getting rid of that pop up whilst also giving back to soldering i use regularly was the right choice for me.

    I paid for it 🤷 that's how devs can afford to keep working on their open source projects in the long run.

    Wrong wording due to posting early in the morning, meant any independent work...

    Winrar is... Not open source. Where did you get that from?

    I paid for it too. I mean fuck man. I’ve been using winrar for almost 30 years. That’s more than I can say for most things in my life. I figured it was the least I could do.
