I removed the "but nobody cares" part. However I think it is still very disappointing that the SFC has still not enough founding for this case, which might be the biggest test of the limits of the GPL in a court until today. Just drink one starbuck coffee less today and spend your money for something useful.

If you read the text carefully, an anonymous donor will match every dollar up till that amount. So our money counts twice (you can double the amount in the bar). Nowhere do I read they actually need that money to get started. The lawsuit has already been filed from what I understood.

In any case, thanks for removing the editorialized (incorrect?) part in the title.

Damnit, why do we have to deal with this PayPal bullshit in this day and age? American banks need to get with the times and let people wire money straight to an IBAN number. Also, why the hell do they need my address?

Is there a way of avoiding to make a PayPal account? I would like to contribute, but I don't want a PayPal account.

You don't have to make an account. But it's still annoying that you have to go through an intermediary whose only raison d'être is that banks still suck. When there is a much more elegant and federated payment protocol out there and in use outside of the US.

As one of the many who does not have a daily latte habit, this thankfully does not apply to me.
