Linux Mint is getting 10% and another 10% is going to a fund to support free
software projects. This is if you use the linuxmint link. The libre link will
fund Trisquel just as it did before. Trisquel never got 25% of everything.
It's only ever got 25% of the profits from libre.thinkpenguin.com. The Free
Software Foundation also gets 10% of sales depending on how the site is
accessed or the channel in which you purchase hardware (some hardware is
available elsewhere).
The fund should help to support projects like:
Linterna Mágica
GNU MediaGoblin
and others...
The reason we are doing this fund is because there are a lot of projects out
there that could use the money and have no means to raise it. Trisquel is
actually in a good position to raise money for itself compared to a project
like Linterna Mágica. Despite that Linterna Mágica is an important project.
One I've wanted to better support for some time.
