I think that's a pretty misguided statement. If you _can_ donate you should. Imagine having to deal with any other platform... The more people (and companies)

The more people (and companies) donate the better we're all off IMO.
- mjburgess 10y agoIf he can donate to this, he can donate to everything. The "if can, should" principle would have him exhausted of money on much more worthwhile charities long before he'd get round to linux. What he's saying is that linux is part of a sustainable economic system from which companies profile, so that (now) it does not require individual charitable contributions.
- arielm 10y agoFair point, but that's not what I meant exactly. If he "wants to" + "can", then he should. The argument was against "I can but why should I if companies will", which I think misses the point of contribution. The more the better.
