作為維護者,您可能希望接受對您工作的捐款,特別是當您為自己的託管/開發基礎設施付費時。 以下是一些文字,您可以根據自己的情況進行調整,並在您套件的網站、README 或您認為有用的任何地方使用。
We appreciate contributions of any size -- donations enable us to spend more time working on the project, and help cover our infrastructure expenses. If you'd like to make a small donation, please visit url1 and do it through payment-service. Since our project isn't a tax-exempt organization, we can't offer you a tax deduction, but for all donations over amount1, we'd be happy to recognize your contribution on url2. We are also happy to consider making particular improvements or changes, or giving specific technical assistance, in return for a substantial donation over amount2. If you would like to discuss this possibility, write to us at address. Another possibility is to pay a software maintenance fee. Again, write to us about this at address to discuss how much you want to pay and how much maintenance we can offer in return. If you pay more than amount1, we can give you a document for your records. Thanks for your support!

我們不反對使用比特幣 (Bitcoin) 接收捐款。
FSF 可以為有限數量的專案募集捐款;如果您想為您的專案提出申請,請寫信至 maintainers@gnu.org。 FSF 需要監督這些資金的支出。
當然,鼓勵人們加入 FSF (https://www.fsf.org) 或進行一般捐款也是很好的,無論是取代套件特定的捐款還是與之並行。
