I don't know where you donate, but Open Collective doesn't have a field for "enter your demands to accept this donation"
There's just no way to do that
I'm sure you're aware that businesses, especially with donations of that size, might engage in emailing contacts prior to donating...
No. Some do, but all the donations I've gotten from businesses on OC were just made.
Lots of companies just tell their staff how much, and they hung on OC and make those donations. They don't see a point to contacting them.
Right but if you're trying to score political points and ensure you can bend a open source project to your will, you do.
Not saying they're right for doing it but it's not so outside the realm of possibility that we should say "who does that?"
