Apparently, Gentoo uses contributions (They have a "make a donation"
button on their front page) to further activities of their for-profit
company. That, and they redirect efforts intended as "sweat equity"
into "volunteer contributions."

This leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but I've not really been exposed
to both sides of this story. I'm curious what others closer to the
project think.
