Re: [pilot-db-list] Devs needing PDAs to test / Donations?

[<hol...@di...>]

Hi,

Donations? A definite NO!! This is an OpenSource program!

This means that anyone who is willing to help out can take 
part - I for my part look after the Web-Site.

Whom should such a donation go to? 

It would be unfair if the 'old' programmers, who are not
active anymore, but on whose ideas this great program is
based on, do not benefit from such 'donations'. 

This can only be done if someone makes his own
program and looks for people to help him/her out. 
This is NOT the spirit of OpenSource programming!

OpenSource programs such as this one live from the fact 
that various people with various interests, from various 
regions of the world get together to develop software 
which is freely available to every one.

The best 'donation' that one can give is one's own time
by helping out.

There are many ways of helping out - Beta-Testing is the
easiest - one can make databases available that one
has made - one can help out with icons etc. 

THIS is what is required - upholding the spirit of 
OpenSource programs!! This is more precious than money!

The license is GNU. Have a look at it.
