= Thanks = 

Many thanks for all those, who supported our work with standing donations.

We are about to close the donation account *8603 because we are now well financed.

For many years our work was mainly financed by donations and smaller projects. Now we have reached a point where we can benefit from a continuous revenue stream to maintain and extend the software without asking for donations or grants. This is quite a new experience to us and I am actually a bit proud to lead one of the few self-sustaining free software projects who had not to sacrifice the goals of the movement.

All you supporters greatly helped us to keep GnuPG alive and to finally setup a sustainable development model.

**Thank you!**
