For small contributions it might be a workable model, but you'll never attract serious money if you're not willing to do the donors' bidding. Who was it that said to ban corporate contributions, Jordan? That's silly. As long as the source code remains free, everyone gets the benefit, no matter how narrow the donor's request might seem. After all, it's THEIR MONEY and they don't have to part with it if they don't want to. All of you are thinking too small. THINK BIG! -- Browser war over, Mozilla now free.
