I'd lay down $50, but only after a non-profit(or some similar organization) was created to make sure there was reliable control of the license, and there was an assurance that FS3 wouldn't be simply made by the community(they do good work, but FS3 deserves a dev team, nothing less). This really has less to do with FS3 however, and more about ensuring that FS1/2 were completely free, and everyone could have it if they wanted.

More than $50.  Precisely how much more depends on a variety of factors, but it could conceivably be a lot more.

I don't earn that much, but I could step up my wages by taking on a lot more hours. Probably close to $500 from me.

I said 20 in the poll, but that's what I'd donate just to keep things rolling. If we have a real shot at buying the rights, you can count on 100+, and while I have no hope on getting a job, I'll save up and hope my jeans last just another month extra.

I put down $15.  

If I get a completion bonus for my work (when the contract ends), probably more.

NOT DONATING

I have absolutely no money, but I'm big on ideas, so: With the 'Worlds Biggest and Longest Flame War' surrounding Smart, it might be an idea for someone to go post on various places asking for financial support.

There's gotta be tens of thousands of people who think Smart is a cock and alot of those would love an opportunity like this to piss him off.

Now that I really think about it... 0
The FS license, it's what, the mythos? So a handful of names, a few, disorganized ship designs and a rather dull alien invasion story? Give me a break, Freespace is cool as a game, not as a universe I'd cram money in.
Rather make my own stuff.

edit: Bleh, posting that I'd donate nothing at the same time as An0n, I feel violated :p
