Shouldn't their donation be weighed against the revenues they enjoy using the Foundation's labors? Is Proxmox enjoying particularly strong revenues, and doesn't their product involve much more than what Perl provides? I think the donation is pretty fair. Their success certainly owes more to things beyond Perl itself.

I think the point is proxmox's donation is fair, but there's many more businesses getting much more value from perl which are not donating, if their fair donation is notable.

Donations are donations. Can't expect them.

VMware has certainly extracted more dollars from me than ProxMox has.

It's nice when companies contribute fixes and testing up-stream, even when it's not a monetary contribution.

Proxmox had made other donations like they were a platinum sponsor at debconf25 and that’s $20k
