[ODE] ODE now accepting donations

[Russ Smith]

hi all,

the ODE project is now accepting donations, to help fund development
such as the new iterative solver and better trimesh collision:

to quote from the donations page:

    Is ODE valuable to you, or to your company? If so, consider
    supporting its continued development by donating to the
    project.

Q & A

    * What will donations be used for? Donations will help to pay for
      the time required to continue development of ODE.

    * Why should I donate? ODE is a uniquely valuable resource for game
      developers and others in the simulation community: it is high
      quality, and unlike other similar physics engines it is completely
      open source. The BSD license allows you to use the engine free of
      charge for anything you want. You can even pull apart the source
      code to use in your own physics engine! Your donation will help to
      ensure that ODE continues to improve.

    * How do I donate money to ODE? Use one of the donation links at the
      top of this page. Donations are accepted via credit card or PayPal
      accounts. You can donate any amount. When you have donated, PayPal
      will email you the receipt.

    * Is my donation tax-deductible? Not in the US, since ODE is not a
      not-for-profit corporation.

    * How will my contribution be recognized? If you want your donation
      to be recognized on the ODE web site, please indicate this in the
      'comments' field in the PayPal form. You can, of course, also
      choose to remain anonymous.

    * I donated, but now I've changed my mind! You have 30 days from the
      time you donate to ask for a refund. Refunds are given with no
      questions asked.

    * I am having a problem using the donation system. Check the online
      help provided by PayPal or contact PayPal for assistance.

    * I have a question about donations - who should I ask? Direct all
      questions to Russell Smith.
