Donations

You can help to support the Lua project by buying the books published by Lua.org or by making a donation. Companies that use Lua may wish to become a corporate sponsor. You can also help to spread the word about Lua by buying Lua products at Zazzle and CafePress.

The Lua project is hosted by Lablua, a laboratory of PUC-Rio (a non-profit educational organization). Your contribution will complement the support we need to keep the Lua project running and will allow us to dedicate more effort to it.

A nice discussion of the costs of developing free software and a good case for why and how you can contribute to a free software project is made by Mary Gardiner in HOWTO Pay for Free Software.

Thank you for supporting Lua!
