You appear to see no difference between donation and investment. OpenBSD is asking for donations - financial support for things they already do and are expected to do in future. They don't promise anything beyond the stuff they normally deliver - sane Unix-like BSD-flavored operating system, so there's quite enough of transparency: they did it for nearly 20 years and everyone may inspect the progress with per-commit precision. I would also note that it could possibly make sense for some corporate sponsor to ask for some level of financial disclosure in case of some big donation, but that's not the case here: the people who ask for it are not the people who are going to donate anything. (Of course unless you really believe that a person behind single-purpose account asking trollish questions is really considering donating the money he doesn't even quantify.) -- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
