Although It's less about guns and more about paying/donating to projects on GPL. If you don't know where to donate, start with Firefox. Every £ matters
Every pound counts? That’s what she said
How exactly are you donating to Firefox? Mozilla foundation is not Firefox and Firefox is unlikely to see any money you give to Mozilla.
Mozilla do spend a lot of money on software development, 220 million last year, out of total expenses of 425 million which came from a taking of 593 million of which 81% comes from Google.
They need to introduce bounty system so people can give money for specific features.
As far as I'm concerned they only produce two useful pieces of software: Firefox and Thunderbird. The rest of the money is going into a black hole.
I was going to but I have no £
What about ¥?
I don't
gil?
If I sell all my megalixers I've never used I could probably keep Firefox funded for years.
Stanley nickels?
What about turkish lira?
Nope, sorry mate
For preserving GPL let me suggest donating to Software Freedom Conservancy which is directly related to fighting abuses of open source / free software / libre software licences.
