Hi Dan,
Sent it to the list if that will help and to the top contributors also.
Current we are donating $10,000 to 200 projects which is $50 per project.
Please let me know what license your project is under and the page and
location in the page where this is stated.
We will be asking other companies to donate to the list we are compiling
also.
This is the acknowledgement I would like placed.

free and open source software (FOSS)
community with Project SOS (Support Open Source).
Find below the 5 requirements and 7 questions I need answers for. Sorry to
have to send you a form letter like this
but I am currently over 100 emails behind on this project.
Requirements:
1. The project must have a website.
2. You must place an acknowledgment of the each donation on your site.
3. Your project must be currently active and has produced a software
product.
4. Your software product must be released under a free open source software
license and this must be stated somewhere
on your site.
5. You must have a PayPal address or PayPal service that donations can be
sent to.
Questions:
1. Will you be able to place an acknowledgement of each donation on your
website?
2. What page would you be putting the acknowledgement on?
3. What is your PayPal account email?
4. What license is your software project released under (GPL, LGPL, BSD,
GNU, OSI approved, or what ever) and what is
the URL of the page where the license information is posted?
5. What was the date of the first version of your software?
6. How many different versions of the projects software have been released?
7. Is your project currently active?
Also check out my Project SOS page.

If you don't mind you can digg me at digg.com and even leave a comment after
you get a donation.

If you blog or have friends that blog you may want to ask them to blog up on
the project. The more noise we make the
more companies that will use my list to make donations and the more money
that will be sent to support your project.
Thanks!

Hi my name is Bob Mutch and I am the owner of Solutions with Service, a
Canadian company that uses open source software products.
I have started a project called Project SOS (Support Open Source) to
help fund free and open source software projects.
I would like to make a donation to your open source work
http://www.fvwm.org/ though our project.
Here is the page that how the donations work.

Seems to be a broken link.
There has been a post on digg.com with a few comments from open source
developers that have received donations already.

Do you have a page where you give acknowledgement to your sponsors?
Let me know!
Fvwm is far from 'my' project.
I'm an occasional contributor.
If you don't mind this being mentioned in a public mail list,
send this mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Otherwise, I can send you a list of a few of the top contributors.
