SponsorCheck

Build-time sponsorship verification for NuGet packages — nudge consumers of an OSS library to sponsor its author, in the spirit of the Open Source Maintenance Fee. Gentle nudging plus honesty rather than runtime DRM.

Add as a development dependency to the library project. At pack time it fetches the author's sponsor list from the configured platforms (GitHub Sponsors, Open Collective, Polar), hashes the accounts, and bundles a build-time verifier into the produced NuGet package. Consumers of the package then declare one of three license modes per package: explicit ignore (with a build warning), platform sponsorship match, or time-bounded private license.

OSS author setup

<PackageReference Include="SponsorCheck"
                  Version="1.0.0"
                  PrivateAssets="all"
                  GitHubSponsorsAccount="acmecorp"
                  OpenCollectiveAccount="acme-collective"
                  PolarAccount="acme" />

At least one <Platform>Account must be set. Credentials per platform come from MSBuild properties / env vars: GITHUB_TOKEN, OPENCOLLECTIVE_API_KEY, POLAR_API_KEY (the last is required).

Consumer license modes (per package, mutually exclusive)


<PackageReference Include="ThePackage" Version="1.0" GitHubSponsorAccount="alice" />


<PackageReference Include="ThePackage" Version="1.0" SponsorshipLicensedUntil="2026-12" />


<PackageReference Include="ThePackage" Version="1.0" SponsorshipLicenseIgnored="true" />

Verification runs in Release config only.
