Why? Sun isn't equipped to accept donations, either; it's a for-profit corporation. Nor does Sun own or control the OpenSolaris community; the Charter and Constitution make that very clear. If someone wanted to enter into a business arrangement with Sun, they'd contact Sun. If they wanted to donate something to the OpenSolaris community as a whole, they don't really have anywhere to go, especially if whatever they want to do can't be considered part of the cost of running their own business. -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!"
