Sometime ago I email'd [EMAIL PROTECTED] and suggested
they provide a "Donations Glady Accepted" link on their website. I
explained that I buy cheap CD's (lsl.com, Cheapbytes, etc.), but would
like to see LM get some $$'s for their efforts. I got an immediate
reply wondering what I thought about a credit card link. I replied
favorably, and said unless I heard not to, I'd send a check to their
California address. That's as far as it went.
So, in the meantime, checks can be sent snail mail'd to:
MandrakeSoft, Inc. : 2400 N. Lincoln Ave - Altadena, CA 91001 - USA
-or-
MandrakeSoft S.A. : 43, rue d'Aboukir - 75002 Paris - France
I sent one, and I imagine if enough people were willing to, LM could
depend on this source of income and wouldn't be at MacMillan's beck and
call. I'm not holding my breath tho, human nature being what it is ;)
