Re: [pcgen] PC Gen Download Website and funding?

Please keep in mind that PCGen is operating, among other licenses, on
the Paizo Community Use Policy
(http://paizo.com/paizo/about/communityuse), and a prerequisite for that
license is a non-commercial project. Putting up a Kickstarter or a
Patreon subscription model might put us dangerously close to being a
commercial enterprise and could endanger our ability to use this license.

Stefan
