This is an interesting site. I have met Rob on IRC
before and spoke to him on email, and I was aware of
his fundraising attempts. Personally I don't begrudge
him of this...many Open Source projects plead for
donations.
Reading Ben Harwoods write up though has make me
think. The concept of living off donations to keep
your hobby going is indeed a little dodgy in terms of
the moralistic view, but I don't know enough about the
subject to really find a conclusion.
I would'nt call him a twat personally...maybe a ******
(expletive deleted).
Seriously though...I can understand for view but I
don't really see the trouble with it.
