    I will stop discussing since suddenly this is about “normal” and I guess “abnormal” donations, and I don’t think we’re having a clear-headed debate here.

      There really are differences, Linux kernel membership could be called based on donations, but they are clearly more than that.
      Also you haven’t mentioned a single 1 man FOSS project that could be affected, which was the original claim could be even from just being a maintainer, which is bullshit.

      We hear these EU warnings over and over again, and they are always wrong.

        I continue to believe the risk is real and supported by my links and quotes. You’re free to disagree. I’m not a lawyer anyway.
