Keeping donors happy to get more donations isn't related to morality. It is completely acceptable morally speaking to accept donations and then later decide to stop working on a project. Whether people will keep donating is entirely a

Identifying and removing superfluous code seems like exactly the kind of unexciting work that a developer might only consider if they are compensated.

It can make disclosure work better for you . Specifically, a developer on your payroll (and with the associated working relationship that entails) is much more likely to let you know about a vulnerability ahead of the general public.

Yes, these days all counties are multicultural to some degree, and it is hard to draw a clear cutoff. The Wikipedia page uses 85% of the state being a single predominant group as a dividing line, but recognizes some special cases as well. H

You claimed that the best way to make oil consumption more eco friendly was by reducing the environmental impact of extracting it, rather than letting high cost motivate consumers to switch to renewables. Now you've backtracked to su

The whole "innocent until proven guilty" entitles the accused to certain rights, but it doesn't mean everyone has to act like they are 100% definitely innocent. Taken to the extreme, that would mean you couldn't even ar
