That's a good question.  It sounds like for Google it's easier to make
a donation to us than to pay Tomasz directly.  I don't know the
details.  Also maybe having IMF act as a middleman makes it more
likely that Tomasz will have the greater Pidgin/Adium/libpurple
community in mind when he makes his changes?  Rather than doing
specific work that benefits only one company.
