Hey I'm Troye. I would have donated money to the OpenOffice opern source project, but I would have had to donate via PayPal. That would have taken too long for me to register, confirm my email address, and finally make a donation. I don't like hassles. I will set away an one hour time period in the future to donate if I remember to, and not now while I'm downloading the OpenOffice suite of software.
I'm not trying to get OpenOffice to sign up for expensive merchant account. It's just more convenient for me and other donaters. And by the way, I'm a Linux fan. I used Linux for 3.5 years (aprox.) as only operating system, before I switched back to 'doze' 2 months ago. Its quicker and easier for me to enter my credit card numbers than to register for PayPal. Besides a huge OSS project like OpenOffice should have its own merchant account that accept credit cards anyways.
