This is because, unless they are backed by a company, developers who want to provide quality Open Source software cannot realistically sustain full time development, no matter how generous their software users are.Īlso, unless you are blocking them (hint, hint), you'll notice that there are ads on this page, which I consider sufficient revenue enough.įinally the fact that I have the freedom to develop Free Software in my spare time should indicate that I'm well-off enough, and therefore that you should direct your generosity towards people who need it a lot more than I do. Instead, I think that ' mécénat' or developer patronage, from companies which benefit most from a healthy FLOSS ecosystem, is what we should be aiming for. The main reason is that I feel that the donation system doesn't actually help software development and worse, can be guilt-inducing for users who choose not to donate.

Since I'm getting asked about this on regular basis, there is no donation button on this page. If you are a developer, you are very much encouraged to tinker with Rufus and submit patches.

Notes on ISO Support:Īll versions of Rufus since v1.1.0 allow the creation of a bootable USB from an ISO image (.iso).Ĭreating an ISO image from a physical disc or from a set of files is very easy to do however, through the use of a CD burning application, such as the freely available InfraRecorder or CDBurnerXP. In that case, FreeDOS, which is the default selection, is recommended over MS-DOS, as it supports more keyboard layouts. If you create a DOS bootable drive and use a non-US keyboard, Rufus will attempt to select a keyboard layout according to the locale of your system.
