Come on - that is pure bigotry, on what evidence do you think that Windows users don't donate to the project? I don't know for sure, but I suspect that most of the money that pays your wages comes from Windows users. > We therefore > cannot contribute project time to making Freenet work on GCJ.

We can and do contribute project time to trying to make Freenet work on GCJ and Kaffe, and GCJ and Kaffe users are more than welcome to contribute their own time too - but there has to be a limit, we are in the free communication business first, and the free software business second - lets keep our priorities straight. Free software is a good cause, but so is preventing famine in Africa, yet if we sent all of our donations to help feed starving Africans, I suspect those that donated the money might be a-little pissed off, and rightly so.
