Hi,
thanks for the feedback! We discussed this topic again during our last call.
Dividing the donations might be legally problematic, as well as adding
some fee for handling. We are currently evaluating that, but in the
meantime, Thorsten has sent this proposal to the steering-discuss list

That means, that for other activities of FrODeV, like their own web
site, event participation, production of merchandise and the like, no
