PCI = "Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard", which is a set of
mandatory and requested measures merchants need to comply with in order
to be permitted to process credit card transactions. There are different
levels of compliance, which affect what the 'merchant' is allowed to do
and/or the fees they must pay.

ES = ECMAScript, the 'real' name for Javascript.

I think that is the point being made - it would seem you cannot.

Richard, in all these discussions, the one question you have not
addressed is why is it OK for the FSF to have a link to paypal on their
donation page (https://my.fsf.org/donate), but you say individual
projects cannot do the same? This seems inconsistent and potentially
hypocritical.
