Richard,
you still have not responded to my question and what was the main point
which started this thread.
How can it be that on one hand, projects are told they cannot have a
link to a means to make a donation which uses non-free software (such as
paypal), but the FSF has exactly that sort of link to obtain donations
for the FSF. Is this not hypocritical?
As far as I see it, if having a link to paypal for donations is OK for
the FSF, then it is OK for a GNU project (provided the project also
includes wording to the effect we would prefer people use other methods
AND we provide another method, basically do the same as the FSF)
