Which goes to show that you're not the intended end-consumer of this product and don't know their credentials. They are not newcomers to this space. If their tone is off-putting, maybe you should stop relying on OpenSSH too.

Were you about to donate your time and money to the project, up until you saw the footer?

I refuse to run any software that's not hipstergraphically secure.

At least they succeeded in their goal of annoying web hipsters. Why don't you sell your fixie on craigslist and donate some money anyway, please?

Do you think your tone will encourage anyone to donate?

Well, I donated because I was glad it annoyed him, so I assume other people might, too. ;)

The tone and the footer encouraged me to actually donate even what little I have to this project.

The footer is a smack in the face to all those responsive bootstrap modern crap marketing websites - while this, table based layout, single page html provides more information and works in every device, with every resolution. Everything just included. As it should be.

This page probably took as much time to write as the sentences in the page - instead of fucking around with html initializr responsive themes, colors and oh god make it stop.
