There used to be complaint from OpenBSD that large corporate users of OpenSSH weren't donating anything, so I sent them $100.

Those days appear to be over.

Better than nothing but it's far from what the title describes as "rains cash".

MS : $25k - $50k

Google , FB : $10k - $25k

For them, that's like saying "Hi". For the financial value the OpenBSD foundation is creating, that's a miniscule return.

It is a bit anemic, upon reflection.

Still, I haven't heard any recent complaint on fundraising goals.
