Here's another troll tactic. Sridhar just very plainly stated above
that Mandrake has a separate donations page. In this he is stating, in
a very simple and understandable way, that MandrakeSoft has clearly
delineated the lines between their subscription model of business and
donations (or charity). Nowhere above can it be interpreted that
Sridhar is saying that "Donations are not charity."
Youre not out to be reasonable, you're just trolling.
And what's with the stupid looking sig, anyway?
