Not even $700 a month? Seriously, there must be thousands of highly profitable companies depending on this guy’s maintenance. Once this is all sorted, please hassle your employers to give something back to him!

Thank you for calling this out. I absolutely rely on him so I decided to contribute $100/month even though I'm a solo dev with a business yet to see profit. But I absolutely rely on him for my server(s) PHP packages.

Similarly Remi for the RedHat-derivative side of things: https://blog.remirepo.net (he's on vacation, but apparently is pushing updates now).

There is a one time option on his github as well for those who don't want to do subscriptions.

Dude even backported the fix to his 5.6->8.0 branches

Newest: 5.6.40-104 which has the CVE fixes.
