[OFBiz] Users - More questions about donating to accountinng

[Si Chen]

Dale,

The donation is to help us cover the cost of developing the 
application.  If you can donate over $3,000, we can give your 
organization immediate access to the source code so you can start using 
it right away.  (For details, see license link on 
http://www.opensourcestrategies.com/ofbiz/accounting.php)  If you donate 
a smaller amount, we'll keep track of it all, and once the cumulative 
donations reach $50,000, the whole application becomes open source.  
Currently we already have $29,000 in donations, so another $21,000 is 
needed.  So if a few larger clients are interested in using it, or if 
everybody in the community can spare a smaller donation, we can cover 
those costs and release it as open source.

I hope this clears it up?
