ImageMagick has been available to both free and commercial users
since the early 1990's. In early 1993 it was one of the most
comprehensive free image processing packages available, but, unlike
competing packages, it continues to be supported and enhanced.
Today, ImageMagick is more comprehensive and better supported than
ever.
ImageMagick has enjoyed considerable support from commercial
users. Since ImageMagick is not restricted from use in commercial
or proprietary applications, it is used to support thousands of
commercial web sites, is used by professional digital image and
publishing shops, and is used as a component of commercial
applications. Many of these commercial users have made
contributions to ImageMagick, large and small, often anonymous, but
always appreciated.
ImageMagick Studio LLC is now looking for sponsorship from
companies which use ImageMagick, or which would like to help
support free software. If your company depends on ImageMagick,
sponsoring ImageMagick is a way to express your
gratitude and to contribute back to the further development of
ImageMagick.
ImageMagick sponsorship can take many forms. The following are
some possibilities:
- Donate a quality SWOP or Eurostandard ICC profile to use as a
default CMYK to RGB conversion profile.
- Help us produce an error-free ImageMagick run-time environment
with the donation of Purify, BoundsChecker, or Insure++.
- Donate funds to cover the cost of network bandwidth, hardware, and
software. Monetary contributions can be sent directly to us at ImageMagick
Studio LLC, P.O. Box 40, Landenberg PA, 19350, USA or via PayPal with
a click of a button (see top of page).
- Donate needed hardware and software in order to help us develop
a better product (e.g. fast Windows development server, or a Zaurus SL-6000
PDA to facilitate an ImageMagick port).
- Provide technical writers to assist with the development of
commercial-grade technical documentation.
- Donate source code to help improve ImageMagick where it is
currently weak (see the list of suggested
projects).
- Produce ImageMagick CD-ROMs for distribution.
Sponsorship may be anonymous, or public. We are willing to
provide recognition for significant sponsorships, and can provide
links to the sponsor's web site. For direct monetary contributions,
click on the donate button above or send a check or money order in
US funds to
ImageMagick Studio LLC
