There are currently about 350 addresses on the list.  A few of them
are mail exploders, but most are individuals.

I appreciate the offers of personal donations, but I too wonder
whether that would be sufficient or sustainable.

How much does your organization pay for software every year?  Would it
be possible to allocate some small percentage of that to Octave
