Just an FYI I did indeed get 10BTC donated to me about an hour ago.
That's nice, but are you a "charity"?
He's donated a shit-ton of work, time, and intellectual property to the bitcoin community, if that's what you're asking...
He doesn't have a piece of paper from the dot-gov declaring him a registered religion, if that's what you're asking...
A trade of hardware for software isn't a donation, IMHO.
Having the hardware on hand in order to be able to program software to make the fucking thing work is not a trade. Mighty difficult to develop software for hardware you don't have available.
Nor has the sum of Kano and other CGMiner developers work even REMOTELY fit into building software drivers for the Jalapeno...
But go on ahead with that sourpuss approach of yours, if that's what feels right. Because I doubt whether BFL or the CGMiner team give a fuck how you feel about it.
