But you can reinvest the donations into Free Pascal.
+ You can buy hardware with donations. How can a port to some strange
hardware be made without that hardware?
+ The Bounties aren't necessarely outside people paying developers to
do things. If we had donations you could use them to fund further
development by people outside the main core group. You could say for
example: $1000 for whoever port Free Pascal to Palm
+ You can use the money to travel to open source forums and make
lectures about Free Pascal / Lazarus
As a Lazarus / Free Pascal fan I would like it to be as good as it
can. And I think that if we could find a way to receive donations and
reinvest them into the software it would be even better =)
Also, do we really need a foundation to receive donations?

But we only need one person to loose time creating the foundation
