...it seems totally reasonable that people might loosely refer to
crowdfunding as fundraising in this sort of context. If you were
confused, then you only needed to ask for specifics. :D
I wasn't confused, and I wasn't speaking about the recent Groupon

I wasn't confused, and I wasn't speaking about the recent Groupon

I understand that you can't move the campaign now. But can you post a
bitcoin address, and invite people to send money that way if they

I understood you to be talking about labelling links as non-free even on
wiki pages and Planet GNOME. Were you only talking about links to

First, there's a lot of talk (here and the earlier thread) that loosely
equivocates fundraising with crowdfunding. They're not the same. To tell
a project that it should simply accept donations rather than use a
