I just re-read it. >>>1. Monthly sponsoring of around 50 to 100 USD That's *monthly*. It's not insubstantial as you keep implying, and it even shows commitment, not a one-time shot. Hardly spam in my book. >>>What we ask for in return for our sponsorships is a short mentioning on the >>>site somewhere with a link to our website. They don't want an advert but a link. That's what you get for 5000 USD/year on http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/donate/sponsors.shtml So, instead of being pissed on, they might have been persuaded to pay a little more, get their link and help the project as a whole. Missed opportunity. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
