The FSF is like the C++ of the free software world. Whatever your feelings about PayPal - I avoid it like plague - it's ubiquitous in the web world of donations. In fact, you can find it on https://my.fsf.org/donate. All, or nearly all, packages that I use in Emacs are hosted on GitHub. Oh my, what's this? https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs! Say it isn't so! Years ago, the Debian team started a huge dust-up by threatening to exclude GCC documentation from its distribution because its license wasn't "free enough." Let's not drive down that road. We didn't make this world, but we live in it.
