Roberto di cosmo's IRILL maybe: http://www.irill.org/ Also, for OASIS, as the project is under LGPL, maybe you can get it accepted as an official FSF project, then the project can receive targeted donations I think. For ocamlforge, maybe you should list on a specific page if you accept donations like hardware, licenses for proprietary software or else (and maybe how to send money some day). Also, if donating is more complex than clicking a button, the donation rate will be low I guess. Regards, F.
