Centos/RHEL also build on upstream projects which would be happy to take donations until the CentOS donation system is ironed out. For example: http://www.apache.org/foundation/sponsorship.html http://openvas.org/professional-services.html (FOSS security auditing software) -- commission us to write new documentation or new features [*] http://www.lighttpd.net/thank-you (lighttpd web server) https://my.fsf.org/donate/ (GNU/FSF) [*] Due notice, this is a project I am an active developer for.
