it would be interesting to know about how MUCH money donated to the openbsd project you all are REALLY talking here...In the last month about 1/5th of what we need to run in a year has been donated. Sad, eh. 350 donation transactions in one month. I had no idea that the OpenSSH deployment on the planet was that small. I suspected it to be much higher: http://openssh.com/usage/graphs.html
I noticed that donations to OpenBSD "are not US tax deductible as charitable contribution".
American companies would give you more money if it were. Of course you know that already, so this is not to suggest that you have not thought of it. Hopefully it won't generate too much anger if I ask.... why not? What keeps the OpenBSD project from filing as a non-profit? Is it the location (i.e. Canada)? I have a feeling this has been asked before but I'm sure there are new readers on this list (such as myself) that could benefit from a repeated answer.
