Comment(by hobarrera):

 Why should they "follow" the lead of others?
 There were strong issues with paypal and it was rejected more than a year
 ago.

 Last year, paypal demonstrated it did not care for or support freedom of
 speech, and favoured censure.

 I don't think the pidgin project wants a logo of such a company on their
 website, or to pay a small commission to someone with those principles.

 It's a matter of principle, not comfort, or friendliness, or ease-of-use.

 It's the same reason why I would *not* pay for pidgin if it were
 proprietary, but would like to donate to it being free as it is.
