that is great, as long as you consider and actually donate to CentOS regularly
statistically, most people that download or use CentOS, do not donate.
That, statistically speaking, could be influenced by the fact the monetary donation page has been 'down' for around one and a half years (ever since the centos 'ownership fight'). I can personally vouch for the fact my company was looking to donate money - only to be stonewalled by the lack of a way to do actually do so.
Money has these great virtues: It can be accumulated in small increments from people who can't afford large increments. It can be exchanged for physical objects like servers. And it can be used to pay (even if only on a part time basis) people to do specific jobs.
I highly recommend it. ;)
Can also pay for beer, or beer equivalent :-)
