They want to do things for free. That's their choice. Not mine. If you want to pay something then give it to the programmers directly. Don't give it to some foundation that swallows it! That's far more worthless than paying $1 million 'organisation costs' to organize a computerchess worldchampionship! This is a very bad request for money for a wrong goal! If they can't do it for free then don't say free software works!! Why doesn't FSF go to IBM and propose creating a competitative product to challenge windows? IBM is said to support linux a lot. If so how much didn't FSF get enough from them already? In short, if i contribute a change to gnu software, how do i ever see something of that money to pay for my time? Reality is. No one sees money. So why pay some kind of weird organisation? Best regards, Vincent
