me too. (no, ... I'm not posting from aol ;-))

It's definitly the easiest way to pay for free software. (for me)
We're a quite young business and can't spend really much money on 
FreeBSD. Everybody - including some of our shareholders - knows that
FreeBSD (our strategic server-platform) is a free piece of software.
If I would donate a significant amount of money to the FreeBSD-project
for appearantly no reason, they would ask me about that (for sure :()

I would have no problems with the following solutions:
    - some kind of 'high-end' / 'premier-support' subscription
      for the release-CDs
    - printed documentation
    - membership in some kind of 'user group'
