Eben's coughing up large~!

Holy shit! Eben's just donated $20,000 dollars to the Free Software Foundation... that's not messing around, and he's their best public speaker, most competent juridico-military strategist and all round pro-bono wizard. Check it out.

$10,000 is nothing to sneeze at. The idea of buying code into the world of Free software (aka code Ransom, as mentioned on Slashdot a few days ago) is drawing interest. waxed writes "FreePepper is an effort to collect enough money to purchase the source code for the multiplatform text editor Pepper from its author, Maarten Hekkelman, who has ceased development of it and re-release it under a BSD-style license. Donations may be made via PayPal or cheque."
