Sponsors

All source code of IPBWI is licensed under the LGPL agreement, which means you don't pay for using the code at any time.

The author does not receive any compensation for his work through traditional licensing fees - he is coding contributing his work to the open source community. However, if you appreciate his contributions and code, there is a fast and easy way to demonstrate your support for his services.

It's very easy to support the IPBWI project:

Become a sponsor of IPBWI for one year. You will receive the following benefits:

• If you do not know how to start with IPBWI or you are a newbie to PHP, the project leader will install the current IPBWI version with live examples one time on your server. The live examples can be used as easy templates for your own installation.

• High priority forum support

• Email & Private Message (PM) support in both English & German)

• Upload attachments of size up to 1 MB (10 MB total) in posts and PMs

• PM space increases from default 50 to 500

• Listed on IPBWI Website as a sponsor during sponsorship period

• Membership to "IPBWI Sponsor" group and sponsor logo on forums

Even if you do not need any of the benefits listed above, rest assured that your sponsorship supports the whole project and serves as a motivation to the project leader. Your support also helps to pay for server and software costs.

1 Year of Sponsorship: 15 EUR

Note that your sponsorship does not automatically renew each year, so there is minimal risk to you as a sponsor.

Need help integrating IPBWI into your website?

We know that sometimes you need some extra help fitting IPBWI into your existing website. For example: If you don't know how to view the last 5 topics on your front page or integrate a PM system with the rest of your site, it is absolutely no problem! This service provides quality IPBWI integration work performed directly by me. Utilize my extensive experience with IPBWI for quick and professional custom work on your website. I provide PHP/MySQL coding services for non-IPBWI supported projects as well. Also, two years of sponsor status is included.

Want to contribute?

There is a way to become an IPBWI sponsor without paying any fee. If you are a PHP and MySQL coder, enthusiastic about open source software, and want to contribute code and functions to the IPBWI-API, there are several benefits that await you:

• Sponsor status with all benefits free of charge per every integrated contribution

• Access to the Developer Area of IPBWI with enough items on the to-do list for years of sponsor status

• Mass PM Allowed up to 10 recipients

• There is no fixed compensation in sponsor status, so difficulty of work is considered - a tricky function will earn more sponsor status time than a small bug fix.
