Somehow I must have accidentally clicked on something (no idea what) and the thunderbird.net website opened on the their donation page.

Since I already give £1 a month (or £12 annual... or the equivalent in $ or €) to several bits of free software that I'm thankful for (assuming they're asking for donations and seem to need it to spur on future development)... well that ends up being a very long list of £1 donations :)

So I thought, yeah Thunderbird!  Of course... how have I missed that one!?

But it seems through the Thunderbird website I can either give a one-time donation of £12 (as the 'Give once' tab is also a minimum of £5)... where I'd likely forget next year to send the same again (not good).

Or if paying monthly... it demands that it must be £5 at least!

I'm assuming this is all done with PayPal (looking at the FAQ's)... in which case Liberapay does this much better!

Anyone else encountered Liberapay or similar donation platforms for free software?  Maybe your thoughts on donating money to help keep the development of free software going?
