LinuxFund, will that be cash or credit?

[Tony Hammitt]

Maybe, if we decided to donate the money, LinuxFund can do it for us.  I
think that that's supposed to be the appeal of the card in the first place.
Don't they donate some fraction of their profits to GNU??  It seems like
we could all save a few steps that way.

It's just a thought..
