> Not to say that Tarsnap doesn't contribute ... Sorry, I was afraid that remark would be misinterpreted. As a long-time FreeBSD (and previous Tarsnap) user, I'm certainly appreciative of the fact that you donate to the Project (in addition to your other contributions). That's the "happy feeling". The "disappointment feeling" comes from wishing that Juniper and VMware's donations were of an amount that would put them in a much higher category. In other words, my thinking was along the lines of "These two [huge, public] companies are donating roughly as much as Colin himself is". (I realize that, technically, Tarsnap is the entity donating but the fact is that that would be extra money in your pocket otherwise.)
