Do you donate to FOSS projects?

Hello.

Although we pirate for various reasons (ideology, no money to spend on entertainment, etc.) I wanted to know if the community actually donates money to any FOSS project? Nearly all of us use a torrent client based on libtorrent (qBit, Transmission, Deluge) or an open source Usenet client such as SABnzbd to consume our pirated content, yet I wonder, how many people here donate to FOSS projects?

I donated 15 euro to KDE in the past, as well as 10 euro to qBittorrent to keep the projects alive. I think that software that respects it’s users deserves to be rewarded for doing so. What is your opinion?

ragepaw,

No. But I should. Probably time to start.

Yep to the EFF, a few GNU projects, and previously to random developers I liked.

chagall,

Yes. To the uBO list maintainers and Jellyfin.

I absolutely do, not necessarily on the pirating tools I use , though.

No, but I’m disabled on a next to nothing/gifts from family budget. I sincerely appreciate those that can donate and share my work on git freely.
