[Alexandre Neto]

Hello Alessandro,

Thanks for the feedback. I understand the dangers of allowing companies to have a saying on the project progress.

Thanks for all your work.

Alex

Depending on the donation, it allows to put the donor name, and company in the website. Once the subscription ends, the names disappear. Instead of having a long donor names from people that donated 5 euros 5 years ago (like me).
