Who's Funding Free Software? by chromatic Feb. 21, 2003 ''...If you or your company benefit from Free Software, here's a list of ways you can help ensure the future of Free Software. Focus less on the "free" part and more on the "enlightened self interest" part: * Donate money to the project of your choice. * Sponsor a hacker to add a feature or fix a bug. * Hire a hacker to train your employees. * Donate code. * Report a bug. * Answer a question on a mailing list. * Encourage your employees to contribute to a project of their choice. * Replace a proprietary tool with a free one. * List the free software you use on your website. * List the free software you use in a press release. * Host a user group meeting. * Donate 10% of the money you've saved by using free software to the projects that have saved you money. * Write a thank you note to a project that's saved you time.''
