I STILL do not understand why anyone would care what CentOS does with money donated by people who used the product and wanted to donate.
If we were having wild beer parties every week ... as long as the packages are built, compared, signed, and released on time, what difference does it make?
If you don't trust the organization, then how in the world do you use it's software.
If you do trust the software, then what difference does it make how money is spent or saved?
You trust us enough to use our software for free ... but not enough to donate? Then so be it ... that is what open source is all about.
But open source is NOT about the users running the company. It is about software freedom.
Actually i did not intend this to get so "money" biased. What i really dislike is the "check here for updates" unchanged for 1+ month on the front page. I don't want to run anything it just looks awkward to me.
