I'd guess they get a higher %age of the money from just the 'donate' button, but at the same time - if you get something thats more sellable to managers etc. - and a usefull copy of FreeBSD, you can't complain :) > Its hard to convince the corporate types to _donate_. Yes, I've hit the same problem here... What would be good / interesting is to have some feedback from this... I myself have been to the donate page (I'm trying to pursuade my employer to :) - But it would be good form a 'feel good factor' to hear when they actually get enough cash to get the switch... I guess this could easily get out of hand though - i.e. we don't want people suddenly demanding detailed expenditure reports, or precise details of "where my money" went... :( -Kp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
