Why must many pay for some? I'm certain that of all the contributions you had, there are only an handful of people who don't understand what a donation is. So with that in mind what is the rational for this kind of action?
I mean, you never said that if we donated you would implement our ideas right? So why do you feel this action is necessary? This only cuts you from a source of support, and people who feel that they should get a say in the direction clojure is taking, could perhaps be refunded. One possible solution would be to open a virtual gift shop where you would buy clojure mugs and t-shirts etc... they would be a bit pricier but the profit would serve to fund clojure, that way if I want to fund clojure development I know where to go and there is no room for complains, because you are getting something for your money.
