Hi René,
Sorry for the confusion. GSoC doesn’t expect that the students incur extra costs, and the stipend is for them to keep. So it wasn’t missing from the GSoC proposal, as it didn’t belong there. It would probably be possible to continue the project without, but much more cumbersome and the results would likely be worse.
For the second point, I should have clarified that. In case only the suite is available in India (I can’t see that here) we would approve of that as well. If both are available, choose the cheaper option.
Best regards Jonathan

I'm ok with making a quick decision, nevertheless I would like some clarification first:
Am I right to assume that acquiring a license for Affinity Designer was not part of the original proposal, because otherwise it would've already been bought/provided before the student began their work? Why is it necessary now? Or was it always the plan to buy it in the middle of the project?
Option "a" is not aligned with the description. This is about Affinity Designer, not the suite.

Dear board,

My GSoC student is working on .afdesign import and is making very good progress. He’d like to purchase a license for Affinity Designer to continue the work. You probably all got the Adobe news on the weekend, and due to that, there is currently a flash sale. The price in the EU is currently 37€ (50% off). So please vote quickly so we can make use of that.
