I neither need nor want any monetary "thank you" for my past work.
I could not take anything for that because I'm not the only one
who worked on fvwm; and the tax office would probably cause
trouble too. However, I *can* accept donations for future
work, even if you don't specify which work, and I want to make
clear that such donations will be used to improve fvwm.

Just see it as an advance 'thank you' for futurte work :-)

No, that's not good, but I decided to earn my living this way.
Anyway, if you want to make a donation, you can contact me via
private email (see my signature), preferrably using PGP
encryption (you can find my public key at
dominikvogt.gmxhome.de/gpg/pubkey.asc).
Ciao
