Good on them.

Patent trolls thrive on hoping companies will take the easy route out. It's the same model as ransomware. I don't hold it against people who find themselves in a difficult position and can't afford to fight, but capitulating to these demands encourages trolls to try again. I have a lot of respect for anyone who's willing to go out of their way to make a patent troll regret filing a claim.

Or if you want to donate via regular bank transfer (without Plaid) you can do that as described here: https://www.gnome.org/support-gnome/donate/

It won't go specifically to the patent case though.
