That would mean that someone who gives a large amount, but only once, 
will not be mentioned anywhere ? I think that sometimes companies might 
want to pay back in a one-shot for the use they made of a free software, 
but without committing for long term sponsorship. I think that they 
should also be mentioned somewhere.
