Debian doesn't sell any products or services and doesn't take

are accountable. They file their tax returns etc.
That is probably true. But does it have to be so secretive?
This thread has already descended into a "debate" on the gold

try to keep it at least vaguely related to Debian.
I don't think that extending of the ladder up the side of the hog that
feeds the people who do the work, is off topic. From the remarks my
original post has generated, it is obvious we could build that ladder
easier w/o paypal blocking the way to take their %... TANSTAAFL.
Thanks,
