LaTeX – A document preparation system
LaTeX is a high-quality typesetting system; it includes features designed for the production of technical and scientific documentation. LaTeX is the de facto standard for the communication and publication of scientific documents. LaTeX is available as
free software
You don't have to pay for using LaTeX, i.e., there are no license fees, etc. But you are, of course, invited to support the maintenance and development efforts through a
donation to the TeX Users Group (choose LaTeX Project contribution)
if you are satisfied with LaTeX.
You can also sponsor the work of LaTeX team members through the
GitHub sponsor program
at the moment for
Frank
David
and
Joseph
. Your contribution goes without any reductions by GitHub to the developers in support of the project.
The volunteer efforts that provide you with LaTeX need financial support, so thanks for any contribution you are willing to make.
