In this entire 40+ message thread, only two options have been listed (besides
the FSF’s special arrangement) which do not direct people to non-free JS:
Cryptocurrancy
Which is volatile in value, regional regulation, and
individual distaste.
Cheques
Which are a dying (and in some places dead) form of bank transfer
instruction. It’s already been established that Ihor would face a US$200
fee
when collecting a cheque, and over where I am the central bank announced
in
2019 that at a point in the near future the “it will be appropriate to
wind up
the cheque system”. Last year a neighbouring country stopped offering or
receiving cheques altogether.

So, to sum up the situation I’d suggest we pick from the following options:
⁃ Accept the situation isn’t great
⁃ Build/fund a new tool
⁃ Convince an existing tool to be more libera-friendly
⁃ Use the FSF as an intermediary
Asking maintainers not to accept donations (or making it prohibitively
difficult) is not a solution.
I support this statement.
