I hope that EFF will not convert these bitcoins to dollars, and instead spend them into the bitcoin economy. They should pay for their webhosting or other IT costs directly with these bitcoins. If their webhosting company wont accept payment in bitcoin then they should switch to one who will.

It would be nice if donations to any organisation could be accompanied by a note that they be spent directly and not converted. The more bitcoins that can circulate in the economy without converstion costs, the better it is for the bitcoin ecosystem.
