Comment on Nginx established as a company

Comments

In a slightly related vein, does anyone know if there's an official "donate" page? For all the help that nginx has been, I'd happily contribute some money to the author(s).

    If you like to donate to nginx, you can make a donation via
    
    PayPal
    paypal@nginx.net
http://sysoev.ru/en/donation.html

Hmm.. maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't paypal disallow non-charities from collecting donations? And they often end up freezing the account?

Here's the link stating that google checkout does not allow "donations" unless you're tax-exempt: http://www.reddit.com/comments/gx7br/google_emulates_paypal_...

I can't find the related news article for paypal offhand.

Given that anyone donating is presumably using nginx somewhere would be very easy for them to restructure this as "paying a voluntary license for the use of nginx at a $ amount to be decided by the customer"

They should do that and avoid the pain of a paypal frozen account.

Just what I was looking for - thanks!
