It's not just a prospect, that's what you should/will get. NumPy and SciPy
get the listed amounts too.

Agreed that the NumPy amount is not that much. The amount gets determined
automatically; it's some combination of customer interest, dependency
analysis and size of the API surface.

The current amounts are:
NumPy: $1000
SciPy: $2500
Pandas: $3000
Matplotlib: n.a.
Scikit-learn: $1500
Scikit-image: $50
Statsmodels: $50

So there's an element of randomness, but the results are not completely
surprising I think. The four libraries that get order thousands of dollars
are the ones that large corporations are going to have the highest interest
in.

Cheers,
Ralf
