REST framework will always be open source and permissively licensed, but we firmly believe it is in the commercial best-interest for users of the project to fund its ongoing development.

## Making the business case
Our successful Kickstarter campaign demonstrates the cost-reward ratio of shared development funding.
With *typical corporate fundings of just £100-£1000 per organization* we successfully delivered:
* The comprehensive 3.0 serializer redesign.
* Pagination API including new offset/limit and cursor pagination implementations, plus on-page controls.
* The versioning API, including URL based and header based versioning schemes.
* Customizable exception handling.
* The metadata APIs for handling `OPTIONS` requests.
* Templated HTML form support, including HTML forms with nested list and objects.
* Internationalization support for API responses, currently with 27 languages.
* Improvements to the browsable API.
* The admin interface.
* Support for Django's PostgreSQL HStoreField, ArrayField and JSONField.
* Ongoing triage and community support, closing over 1600 tickets.
This incredible level of return on investment is *only possible through collaboratively funded models*, which is why we believe that supporting our paid plans is in everyone's best interest.
