Information about donations to the FreeBSD Project can be found here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/contrib-how.html According to section 20.2.5.1, it seems like you cannot do a tax write-off just because you donated money to FreeBSD (since they aren't a 501(c)(3) chartiable organization). Instead, you should think about donating money to FreeBSD to help further the project and allow the group to allocate more resources to improve the software and anything within the FreeBSD project as much as possible. You can send money to the address provided in the URL above or through FreeBSDMall.com -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
