Um, if they are asking for an avenue to do so, probably yes?

I personally spend hundreds a month on charitable donations - to political advocacy groups, social outreach organizations, and to open-source software that provides me immense value. I think this is one of the most direct ways I can influence the world around me.

It is well known in fund raising most people who say they would donate will not donate. And anyone can give Mozilla Corporation money now by subscribing to their services.

I'm not sure this is exclusive to fundraising - the same is said in business about people who will actually purchase a product, versus those that say they will. Regardless, the comment felt unnecessary in context.

And for what it's worth - subscribing to services is not really the same. For one thing, it puts a cap on how much I can (reasonably) provide.

Did someone say it was?

What percentage of Mozilla Corporation's revenue could you provide if they solicited donations?
