[vorbis] Re: FhG $15k minimum

[Richard Newton]

When I said I'd pay my £1 worth, I didn't mean it literally.  

Anyway, the point about larger companies is a good one.  Earliers posts talk about if games companies would be willing to give funds to develop ogg, if these donations are tax deductable surely they are much more likely to give.  The question is how legal is this?  If they are getting direct benift from ogg, can that make tax deductable donations?
