The kernel does not print a banner message at every boot asking for
donations.

LibreOffice is, by default, placing such a message, in the manner
of Micro$hit Winblows, into the face of every user at startup.

Users already know that they can contribute to the projects of their
choice.  There is no need to panhandle or beg.  If FOSS software intends
to rely only on user donations then they should get out.

Fortunately, as I have shown, this outrageous behavior can be disabled.

At my own expense, I contribute to FOSS and I NEVER expect any compensation
of any kind.
