    That's pathetic. ($900K) We should be seeing large donations from companies whose products are based on free software. Like AWS.

      I don't evaluate it in this way.

      What I think should instead be evaluated is how effective that investment into the FSF can be.

      I think we also need to think more strategically here. For instance, LibreOffice should really receive a lot more funding and support by states all across this planet. I am tired of the US monopoly (almost a monopoly) here (Microsoft).

      The FSF isn't here for large organisations. It's here for us, the public. You can't really expect any entity to fund something that isn't in their interest. Even if they did it would be more for a PR piece and they'd cut it as soon as they could. That's why it's important that we (the public) fund organisations that fight for us.

      That by definition would not be free software anymore

    With all the controversy of influence pedalling around Epstein, it is refreshing to see large anonymous donations with Monero, especially to FSF.

      Sorry, I am a little off topic but the word you are looking for is "peddling" as in peddle

      Peddle (verb)

      meaning: sell (illegal drugs or illicit goods).

      "he was arrested after trying to peddle guns"
