   > Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

   We need #FLOSS tools to get to the point where they can replace Adobe tools. Open alternatives are great, but they are sadly not there yet to replace Adobe tools for professionals.

   And won't be unless projects like @inkscape get enough funding to develop to a point of being viable alternatives.

   Yes, it is in no small part about the money.

     Inkscape will always be open source, so it is safe to assume there will always be an option to obtain it without paying, no matter what happens.

     But yes, we're asking for donations, to make things like Hackfests, outreach and faster development possible.

     @rysiek @inkscape Funny how you have to pay to keep things free.
