Is Money Useless to Open Source Projects?
http://www.codinghorror.com –
In April I donated $5,000 of the ad revenue from this website to an open source .NET project...I was crushingly disappointed to find out the $5,000 in grant money has been sitting in the bank for the last four months, totally unused.
