@J3317 Thanks for asking! NVDA will never be paid, for multiple reasons:
- NVDA is free & open source, licensed under GPL. Half our contributions are from the community so they would need to agree to a change of license.
- NV Access is a registered charity, overseen by a board of directors whose first "statement of purpose" is "To facilitate the development of open-source assistive technologies for blind and vision impaired people that are free of charge to the end user" nvaccess.org/about-nv-access/

@J3317 We get income from a range of sources:
- Companies such as Microsoft, Google and Adobe who believe in what we do: They help fund us, and in return we give them our accessibility expertise - helping improve the accessibility of their products for everyone
- Private and corporate donations
- Sale of training material, NVDA Expert Certification and telephone support, both to individuals and corporate users
- Funding or support towards specific projects; our financial situation is healthy.
