Source Forge for example has a server farm. But it doesn't provide
Free Pascal, so it is of no use for me.

IMHO Summer of Code from Google is almost this, and we could make such
investments just like it.
So, I am to assume that you beliave that google summer of code is also
questionable at best?
Then why many other important open source projects beliave on it?
Mono, Python, wxWidgets, GCC all are there, and all accept donations
and investments.
Why so much resistence from Pascal?
And more importantly, where will this lead us in the future?
