his facebook post explaining his reasoning for the donation is pretty
good too i think - for those lucky enough to not have a facebook account
it boils down to this quote:
"We’ll all benefit if FreeBSD can continue to give people the same
opportunity it gave me – if it can lift more immigrant kids out of
poverty, and help more startups build something successful, and even
transformative."
