Gentoo does not under any circumstances have any requirement to disclose publicly its financial information, let alone its actions with the money you specifically donated.
Of course some people will be concerned with the private activities of individuals in/from Gentoo who will in turn receive their money, and use retohric like, "I don't want some child molester to get my money," or "What if they're providing funding to Al Queada's shoulder launched nuclear weapons program," or no this, none of that, blah blah blah. The root of the matter is that when you donate money to Gentoo, you are rewarding the organization, and more specifically the _VOLUNTEERS_ who produce, manage, and develop Portage for your person use. The question regarding your donation should not be, "Those bastards better not be handing my money off to terrorists," instead it should be, "Do I appreciate the product they produced that I'm using right now?" Besides, you're doing more support of terrorists by buying gasoline than you are by donating money to people who provide you with free software. You don't ask the cashier at your local convenience store what the hell they do with their paycheck every evening because if they spend it on porn you sure as hell aren't supporting THAT store anymore, do you? (If you do.. get help). n -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
