paying for any parts of infrastructure would delete the independance from donations. debian was never depending on any donations, for good reasons. if we change this, the next step will be that some monstrous companies offer deals to us: "We give you money, you give us XYZ" i think that the independance from donations is an essential part of debians free infrastructure. bye jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
