"Im just not used to that sort of generosity."

FULL STORY
======================================================================

In an unprecedented move, a Seattle area software developer  responsible for 
maintaining Open Source security and encryption software used by millions of 
web servers around the world  has received a $5 tip. 

It really just blew me away, stated the software developer.  As the sole 
maintainer of one of the most critical pieces of software on the entire 
Internet Im just not used to that sort of generosity. 

When asked what he planned to use the unexpected funds for, the developer 
told The Lunduke Journal, What cant I use it for?!  Might get myself 2/3rds 
of a Starbucks coffee.  Or, oh , maybe 1/125th of the monthly web hosting 
costs for the project.  The skys the limit! 

When asked for comment on the news-worthy donation, the Open Source 
Initiative provided the following quote: 

This $5 donation proves the viability of the Open Source model.  Put in years 
of development?  Write the code that makes the modern Internet possible?  
This is the sort of reward that could be in your future.
