</span>Hm, this does _sound_ nice, but I don't see it as ethical and it may even get<br>
us into legal trouble. When registering with BKO, users did no give their<br>
consent to receiving emails about anything other than bugs. If we now send<br>
them emails asking them for donations, at least some will likely get quite<br>
angry.<br>
<br>
If we want to do something like that in the future, we have to give to give<br>
users an opportunity to opt in for other messages from KDE when registering<br>
for BKO (or when filing a bug).<br>

Only spammers send unsolicited emails.
