That is unfair for us poor people that want to get a feature implemented by=
 paying.

If you're a rich person (or a company/university/goverment) you can go to a=
 company and say "here 10K=E2=82=AC implement this".

But obviously i don't have 10K=E2=82=AC to spend, but maybe i could convinc=
e 1000 people to pitch in 10=E2=82=AC, but no company is going to play this=
 game.

=46or me, this leaves the KDE eV as the ideal place this would happen (yes,=
 there's other places that would be useful for grouping the money, but all =
those take a percentage cut that i'd prefer noone gets or if a cut has to b=
e taken let the KDE eV take it).
