back.
In fact, let's give alot more back then we have been doing,
collectively
(ugh) speaking.
Think of it as enlightened self-interest; helping these folks
out makes
it far more likely you'll see even more good stuff from them in
the future.
That's an awfully self-less gesture :)
Any ideas which projects 'deserve' the money? There are a lot of
sec
projects, and not a lot of money ;)
Personally, i'll give to Backtrack (but that's not really giving
back to
the developers), Nikto guys and Phenoelit. I don't remember paypal
donate type things, or any of these guys being regular hacker
profiteering types though...
