Any investment in free software is an investment in all corporations that use free software, regardless of how they use it. Very few corporations that use free software make proprietary forks. Proprietary forks aren't the only way corporations can use free software.
Ok, so, suppose you donate 100 $ to the Pd Community's GPL side, how much money should go to each developer ? Make a list of developers, and how much money each will get.
Here I have to correct myself! I meant that I would be reluctant to donate my money to pieces of code that could possibly be used in proprietary code (no mean business/commercial, forgive my mistake).
How the donation will be spitted, that's up to the donator and the main developers to decide. I would like to choose witch sub-projects I would like to donate, or if I would like to contribute to the whole project sharing in direct proportion to the contribution of each hacker.
