I'd like to thank Howard for speaking so clearly. One of the really broken things is that big companies seem to have a hard time making a donation to an open source project. Yet they can pay for proprietary software licenses with no effort. So I wonder if selling some kind of "gold support contract", would be viable, where all that they get is to put the gold label on issues on the tracker, but then it's a "support contract" and thus easy like a license, vs a "donation". I don't buy the notion that Sarbanes-Oxley makes this hard. I think that's just an excuse, based on my experience.
