The announcement explains, "the OpenBSD Foundation will initially concentrate on facilitating larger donations of equipment, funds, documentation and resources. Small scale donations should continue to be submitted through the existing mechanisms.""

    Given the fact that it was stated by Bob Beck, a member of the OpenBSD programming teams, I think he will be OK with it.

    Besides, the OpenBSD Foundation stated very clearly that it will focus on large donations (of funds, hardware, etc) and that small donations should be sent directly to OpenBSD through the usual channels. RTFA and all that.

    I do think Theo will be A-OK with that.
