What I would like to see is uniform BSD licensing for PD Vanilla.
That said, if Shahrokh believed that the task only included [expr], I'm fine
with that. I doubt he's going to be funded at anywhere near what his time is
worth, either way.

Personally, I'm not into the idea of generalizing this -- public funding is a
legal and bureaucratic hassle, and I'm considering this a specific charity
donation a la sponsoring a friend in Race for The Cure, not seed money for a
bug-bounty model of development. I'm also unlikely to contribute again. For
me, this is a one-time put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is special situation
that I only really considered because the original author made a unique
proposal.
