The sites in which people ask for funding (including both Patreon and Gofundme) require the donor to run nonfree software. For this reason, I would never entertain the idea of donating through those sites.
In addition, donating usually requires one of the usual payment systems that make donors identify themselves. Can anyone tell me? I would be willing to identify myself to the recipient person or organization, for instance by sending per or it a check, but identifying myself to a data base company is another matter.
I would guess that requesting and receiving donations also requires running nonfree software. Can anyone tell me?
