True. And that's how we all like to see it, right? Alas, the joy of idealism...

But I've heard from some
developers that taking a bounty isn't worth the trouble of setting
up a paypal account.

Depends on your usual day business, I guess, and whether you're paid what you're worth. If not so, the 300 $ you mentioned is quite a bunch of money, too...

AFAIK (and hope), none of you guys codes in Lily for his living, but at
least there may be a free dinner sometimes to soothe the Significant
Other...

An alternative to donating it to the FSF (or whatever charity you
like) would be for the developer to offer a bounty on something
that affects *them* -- either something they want to use for their
own lilypond compositions, or something they want for their own
*development* work (like the source code indentation program or
new build system).

Of course that's entirely up to the developer of some patch. I'd be fine with either option.


Cheers,
Alexander
