True. And that's how we all like to see it, right? Alas, the joy of idealism...
But I've heard from some developers that taking a bounty isn't worth the trouble of setting up a paypal account.
Depends on your usual day business, I guess, and whether you're paid what you're worth. If not so, the 300 $ you mentioned is quite a bunch of money, too...
AFAIK (and hope), none of you guys codes in Lily for his living, but at least there may be a free dinner sometimes to soothe the Significant Other...[...] An alternative to donating it to the FSF (or whatever charity you like) would be for the developer to offer a bounty on something that affects *them* -- either something they want to use for their own lilypond compositions, or something they want for their own *development* work (like the source code indentation program or new build system).
Of course that's entirely up to the developer of some patch. I'd be fine with either option.
Cheers, Alexander
