In my personal case, I am more interesting in building a personal site that explains how to support my work in Open Source like (support.ulisesgascon.com or similar) and I probably will promote my own books that are for sale, referral links to platforms such as Digital Ocean or contributions that I did in the past, etc... So, with the existing definition I am limited only to add links to sponsorship platforms but not to other outgoing links.

I believe that the links should be as professional and respectful as the text included.

Side Note: I am not yet using sponsorship platforms as I need to investigate how the taxes will work for it in my local context (Spain)

I think the idea is to forbid to link back to your sponsors – which might be worth stating explicitly, as I think it can be easily overlooked.

@aduh95 I'm not sure I follow.

@UlisesGascon I do understand your concern. I was trying to address earlier concerns that were raised about pointing to sponsorship options that would reflect poorly on the project. My suggestion for one page + defined outoing links was to address that but open to other suggestions as well.


The sponsorship platforms to which links can be made currently
includes (in alphabetical order):

* [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors)
* [Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/)

OpenCollective does not work for individuals.

I recommend we include thanks.dev and polar.sh.

I think OpenCollective should be removed. It's not a system built for individuals.
