“Last July, the Linux Foundation hit on the bright idea
of combining many geeks’ favorite activities — supporting
Linux and buying geek gear — with a Tux-themed Visa Card that
donates back to Open Source advocacy. The Linux Fund has been
offering their own card since 2007, and as of Friday, is extending
the opportunity to the UK.“For those unfamiliar, the Linux Fund is a charitable
organization that provides support for Open Source groups.
Recipients include current projects like Inkscape and Gnash, and in
the past have included Debian, freenode, and OpenSSH, among many
others. The Fund’s major source of income — reportedly more
than three-quarters of a million dollars — is its Visa card
program, which receives a portion of every purchase made with the
cards.”
