Ok I have a theory, I think that the gimp account was set up on a different time than OOo. This might be not the fault of either gimp nor OOo but the policy at paypal applied to most of the newer accounts but the older ones didn't. I am investigating on this, I made a donation through my CC to bo

I did use Paypal, but I didn't have to sign up for it. It is like buying on a site but *not* having them save your credit card information with a user name. Click on donate here http://www.gimp.org/donating/ http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php? group_id=93438&package_id=99112 (note,

But Paypal offers an option now and for quite some time, to not sign up but they still process the credit cards. Mozilla, Gimp, and Inkscape all have this ability and I have successfully donated to them with Paypal without signing up. I know it is possible as I have done it before. The reas
