Yes, strange, it says aPayPal _or_ credit card, but it only gives the PayPal
option...

The same thing happened with me. I would have donated to
OpenOffice.org, but they don't take credit card donations without
setting up a paypal account first. I cancelled my paypal account a
while back due to phishing attacks. Instead, I donated to Gimp,
Inkscape, and Mozilla - it must not be that hard if they could do it.
If OpenOffice.org wants to make it such a pain to give money I guess
they don't want it bad. Very easy to donate to money to Gimp,
Inkscape, and Mozilla - just go to their homepages and follow the
links or post on the their lists.

While I haven't followed the link, I know that Paypal not only processes
their own accounts, but will also process major credit cards for
merchant members. You follow the Paypal link, then choose which method
you wish to use.
