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?

deduction at the same time would persuade more people to donate, I think.
