I love Linux as much as the next sysadmin, but given how central it is to the bottom lines of so many corporations, there's no way I'm going to donate to it as an individual. Let the companies that profit from it fund it.

I always find it eyebrow raising to check the corporate membership list, and see Suse sitting as Gold member while Red Hat is down in Silver.

&gt;&gt; A percentage of every purchase made on your Linux Foundation credit card goes back to Linux Foundation &lt;&lt;<p>Would be nice if they actually mentioned what that percentage is exactly.

Would be nice if we could find out what percentage of the total Linux Foundations donations, payments from member companies and members actually go to the people making useful contributions to Linux developers and related technologies&#x2F;tool developers, as opposed to &quot;management retreats&quot;.

I had one of these 15 years ago. I got a &quot;cute penguin&quot; comment almost every time I used it.

Why not just get a card with 1.5% cash back or more and make a donation? The Foundation would get more and it&#x27;s tax deductible for the cardholder.

I used to have the FreeBSD version of this card. I never knew how much was being donated, which was disappointing.

I&#x27;m moving all my banking away from Wells Fargo because of their involvement with the north dakota access pipeline, and this will be a great replacement for my CC!

Sadly I&#x27;m a student and haven&#x27;t started a line of credit. I&#x27;d love to buy one of these but I&#x27;d definetly not be allowed.
