I think that is a decision up to the individual mentors.  In the past,
every Gaim SoC mentor has chosen to donate their mentor payment (for
example, I have donated $2,000 to Instant Messaging Freedom, Inc. in
this manner) to the project.  This decision is made by the mentors,
not by IMF, Inc.  It is true that this was a decision made as a group
in the past, but it was not under the auspices of IMF, Inc. or any
other, larger group.  (For the record, both years the decision has
been unanimous -- which just goes to show what an awesome bunch of
developers we have!)

I am not sure what we could do about this at the board meeting, except
perhaps vote to say "Thank You" to the donors.  ;-)
