Material for MkDocs uses the _sponsorware_ release strategy, which means
that _new features are first exclusively released to sponsors_ as part of
__Insiders__. Read on to learn [how sponsorship works][1], and how easy it is
to [get access to Insiders][2].

## How sponsorship works
New features first land in Insiders, which means that _sponsors will have access
immediately_. Every feature is tied to a funding goal in monthly subscriptions.
When a funding goal is hit, the features that are tied to it are merged back
into Material for MkDocs and released for general availability. Bugfixes are
always released simultaneously in both editions.
_Don't want to sponsor? No problem, Material for MkDocs already has tons of
features available, so chances are that most of your requirements are already
satisfied. See the [list of exclusive features][4] to learn which features are
currently only available to sponsors._

## How to become a sponsor
You can become a sponsor using your individual or organization's GitHub account.
Just visit __[squidfunk's sponsor profile][5]__, pick any tier __from
$10/month__, and complete the checkout. Then, after a few hours, @squidfunk will
add you as a collaborator to the super-secret private GitHub repositority
containing the Insiders edition, which contains all [brand new and exclusive
features][4].
__Important__: If you're sponsoring @squidfunk through a GitHub organization,
please send a short email to sponsors@squidfunk.com with the name of your
organization and the account that should be added as a collaborator.[^1]
[^1]:
It's currently not possible to grant access to each member of an
organization, as GitHub only allows for adding users. Thus, after
sponsoring, please send an email to sponsors@squidfunk.com, stating which
account should become a collaborator of the Insiders repository. We're
working on a solution which will make access to organizations much simpler.
To ensure that access is not tied to a particular individual GitHub account,
create a bot account (i.e. a GitHub account that is not tied to a specific
individual), and use this account for the sponsoring. After being added to
the list of collaborators, the bot account can create a private fork of the
private Insiders GitHub repository, and grant access to all members of the
organizations.
You can cancel your sponsorship anytime.[^2]
[^2]:
If you cancel your sponsorship, GitHub schedules a cancellation request
which will become effective at the end of the billing cycle, which ends at
the 22nd of a month for monthly sponsorships. This means that even though
you cancel your sponsorship, you will keep your access to Insiders as long
as your cancellation isn't effective. All charges are processed by GitHub
through Stripe. As we don't receive any information regarding your payment,
and GitHub doesn't offer refunds, sponsorships are non-refundable.

_If you sponsor publicly, you're automatically added here with a link to
your profile and avatar to show your support for Material for MkDocs.
Alternatively, if you wish to keep your sponsorship private, you'll be a
silent +1. You can select visibility during checkout and change it
afterwards._

## Frequently asked questions
### Compatibility
_We're running an open source project and want to make sure that users can build
the documentation without having access to Insiders. Is this still possible?_
Yes. Insiders is compatible with Material for MkDocs. All new features are
implemented behind feature flags; all configuration changes are
backward-compatible. This means that your users will be able to build the
documentation locally with Material for MkDocs and when they push their changes,
it can be built with Insiders (e.g. as part of GitHub Actions). Thus, it's
recommended to [install Insiders][24] only in CI, as you don't want to expose
your `GH_TOKEN` to users.
[24]: publishing-your-site.md#github-pages
### Terms
_We're using Material for MkDocs to build the developer documentation of a
commercial project. Can we use Insiders under the same terms and conditions?_
Yes. Whether you're an individual or a company, you may use _Material for MkDocs
Insiders_ precisely under the same terms as Material for MkDocs, which are given
by the [MIT license][25]. However, we kindly ask you to respect the following
guidelines:
- Please __don't distribute the source code__ of Insiders. You may freely use
it for public, private or commercial projects, fork it, mirror it, do whatever
you want with it, but please don't release the source code, as it would
counteract the sponsorware strategy.
- If you cancel your subscription, you're removed as a collaborator and will
miss out on future updates of Insiders. However, you may __use the latest
version__ that's available to you __as long as you like__. Just remember that
[GitHub deletes private forks][26].
