Hello,
Second that emotion.
I iterate a previous message I wrote: FSF has a PayPal link on its
donations page. I don't think org needs to compete for the "purity"
prize. The amount of money is less important than letting people express
their support for the software, by voting with their wallet.
I live in the US. My bank is local. I can't make purchases outside the
US without pre-clearing them with the bank -- unless I use PayPal. The
latter is my choice. Everyone has their threshold of inconvenience.
Mine happens to be getting on the phone with the bank every time I want
to press the "buy" (or "donate") button.
Re: VS Code. Many extensions are copyrighted by their creators (e.g.,
Oracle, Salesforce). I know nothing about the legalese of copyright
notices. Still, I would not expect that these extensions are free in the
GNU sense.
Thanks.
