[Bug 434979] Re: vuze just asked me for money

[Adrian Perez]

Well, I strongly suggest to not change this behaviour as many open
source programs use this mechanism of donation. Would you prefer it
shareware? Azureus is licensed under the GPL, the GPL stands that you
could even sell your software so I don't see a problem with this window.
It's a way for people to contribute to the effort that the programmers
are taken into build the software you are merely using. They're doing a
great work and I think they work should have a profit, so preventing all
ubuntu users from donating to the azureus team doesn't seem a good idea
to me. Also, I'm not a lawyer but that's my personal preference.

In the case you decide to go ahead and disabling the behaviour (I won't
adopt such a radical solution in debian, I'm contacting upstream to make
timing more slow aka don't show it that often), I think removing code is
not the best idea for a patch. Thanks for your contribution, but I think
the attached one is cleaner.
