The original author seemed to talk a lot about funding development/maintenance, so I got curious about what the hell needs to be maintained. I cloned the https://github.com/t3dotgg/vsc-material-but-i-wont-sue-you repo and had a look. Here's a LoC summary:

  ===============================================================================
   Language            Files        Lines         Code     Comments       Blanks
  ===============================================================================
   CSS                     2          142          119            0           23
   TypeScript             32         2026         1650          243          133
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   HTML                    2           59           49            1            9
   |- JavaScript           2            2            2            0            0
   (Total)                             61           51            1            9
  ===============================================================================
   Total                  36         2227         1818          244          165

Among those, 622 lines of TS are hex color definitions for variants in scripts/generator/settings/specific. Most of the rest seems pretty boilerplatey, e.g. look at the 599 lines in scripts/generator/color-set.ts.

So the question remains: what the hell is there to maintain (that takes more than a couple minutes every $godknowshowlong)? I've published and maintained waaaaay more substantial open source projects for years without expectation of any financial contribution.
