pudo: The implication that F/OSS donations should go to charity might not sit too well with a lot of people. They're developing software in their own time and giving it away for free - why do they now have to channel money to charity to improve their 'image'? Having some donations every now and then might be a nice thing, especially if you're the Mozilla foundation.The same thing might even happen to the user base: the software is still free, but now you get a guilt thing for not having donated to Oxfam.Weird psychology at work here, I'd guess.
