JL> Many Free OS websites do not have clear way to pay. They have JL> donations.
To be clear, you're saying a "donation" is optional and "payment" is non-optional. That is, under "payment", one is legally bound to remit payment to the author before use notwithstanding the fact that his software can be downloaded unabridged from various ftp sites. Only the author's mom and believers of karma would make this distinction, one so excruciatingly academic as to be vacuous. As a believer of karma myself, I remit payment for free software by tipping my waitress an extra dollar. Karma like money is fungible.
