I think that your $60 a year to Debain is much better spent. By supporting GPL(or similarly licensed) software you are supporting a trickle down development effect where the source can be used for other projects. $50/yr/seat to Sun only helps Sun's bottom line and doesn't necessarily contribute to the good of all. Just my 2cents. I contribute to several GPL projects and the EFF and feel that it's money well spent. Kudos to you for your Debian contribution. Hopefully more people will realise that they should pay for 'free' software.
