Well, Moodle seems to make friends in all kinds
of places, not all that financially strong ones though.
Isn't Moodle worth little bit more?

The 'link whore' approach does seem to be multiple links for 50$ donations.

Coors actually uses Moodle for their internal training, I believe.

As for the others, it's really hard to know where to draw the line. Any suggestions?

I think everyone could agree that essay writing services are inappropriate.

How about maximum one (greatest value) listed? That would eliminate multiple links.
I think it's difficult to make moral judgements about the businesses, but you could exercise some control over the wording on the link.

Isn't it the case that some of these non e-learning donations are being made on the basis that their link will appear, and therefore gain Google points?

I guess any serious / sincere donator would be happy with their name in standard text (not a hyperlink to their website).

I agree with Stuart. That would be a solution. Currently this really doesn't look very good on Moodle. Are we willing to lose that income though?

Perhaps a policy related to amount and expiration of display would be useful.

Hey $50 is $50 !
