Bug#905674: Funding free software

2018-09-09 Thread ydirson
Hello Ole, I do understand that funding Free Software is a problem of its own, but I'm quite surprised to see a program with "GNU" in its name doing things that way. Is it a way of funding that is endorsed by the GNU project ? Best regards, -- Yann

Funding a free software project is hard. GNU Parallel is no exception. On top of that it seems the less visible a project is, the harder it is to get funding. And the nature of GNU Parallel is that it will never be seen by "the guy with the checkbook", but only by the people doing the actual work.
