Donations

Although FlashFloppy is Free Software, some people have expressed a wish to make a donation for using and distributing it. If this includes you please feel free to make that donation to a charity of your choice. Money sent directly to me is donated to Macmillan Cancer Support in the UK.

A couple of redistributors have chosen to donate 1GBP/1EUR to charity for each unit they sell. I appreciate this lovely gesture but as with end-user donations it is entirely at their discretion. FlashFloppy will always be Free.
