We certainly do. A typical entry in ledger has this data:
2015-03-10 ComputerBase GmbH
;Program: Inkscape:Conferences:Hackfest:2015
Assets:PayPal $144.90
;PayPalTransactionId: 0UM8989276211204D
Income:Inkscape:Donations $-150.00
;IncomeType: Donations
;Memo: Thank you for developing Inkscape!
Expenses:Inkscape:Banking Fees $5.10
;Entity: PayPal
There are no email addresses or other contact information.
I think we shouldn't publish names, out of privacy concern. The Memo
field is probably fair game; biz names probably, too. No clue whether
displaying the donation amount is good or bad or what.
Here's a list of business donors:
2015-01-17 Association LILA
;Memo: This is a donation for Inkscape by the non-profit association
LILA resulting from the "Libre Calendar 2015" event:

A few of those I'm not sure if it's a business or just a person's
pseudonym.
Lemme know if you want the dollar amounts (most were in the $20 range);
I can send that offlist.
