> I think they pay, because they can profit from free software.
Of course they profit from free software. They are using their own gnu+linux
distro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goobuntu android and Chrome OS contains
free software; and also their servers runs on gnu+linux and that's fine.
Remember the freedom 0 the freedom to run the program as you wish, for any
purpose.
>Payments can corrupt.
yes they can but the solution is not prohibiting FSF from accepting Google's
donations.
the problem is FSF and any other nonprofits operates by humans and humans
make mistakes and may corrupt. If you prohibit FSF from receiving Googles
money and they want to be naughty! I'm sure they would find a money
laundering solution. well, actually I guess nonprofits have no obligation to
disclose donors identities. but as Ignacio.Agullo said >So far I trust FSF
enough to continue doing the right thing...Only if FSF would start acting
strangely...I consider changing my mind.
