IME, making contributions to a commercial enterprise rarely ends well. If there is no compelling business model to sustain the entity, it's just forestalling the inevitable.

Now, Mr. Mattison could have been invited to join the discussion here and solicited input from the group, but I suppose he wasn't asked.

To be clear, I'm not averse to donating money, just not to commercial businesses. And of course, since donations are by definition voluntary, I would not seek to obstruct or prevent anyone from donating whatever he wanted wherever he wanted (so long as the cause wasn't something likely to bring harm to anyone, obviously).
