Jarrod, donations are already in Brainstorm: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/9016 And the beginnings of a specification: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareDonations
Fred, the main difficulty that we've been stuck on is policy for who should receive the donations for a project. Should we require projects to set up a legal entity of some sort? Should we just give all money to the submitter and let them share it amongst contributors? What happens if someone submits a copy of an application that differs only in name from an existing application, and starts accepting donations on it? What happens if it differs by 1%? Or by 3%? Or by 10%? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/996764 Title: Donations To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/996764/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
