Really sad to hear this... My first donation as a late teen to free software, was to the ICCF Uganda, thanks to vim's charityware license. It was maybe around 1997 or 98. Later versions of vim used a formal free software license, but still off-band encouraging donations to the ICCF. I've always been a bit skeptical to the whole concept of charity, but I respected Bram Moolenaar so much due to his work on vim that I trusted his judgement. I kept donating to the ICCF for a few years until he was hired at google. I was also deeply honored to see my (tiny, insignificant) minority language on his page for the word Mooleenar in many languages [0]. As a matter of respect and to honour his memory, I will keep using the last version of vim (by his last commit [1]) as my main text editor for as long as humanly feasible.
