+Your Support
+NLnet Labs offers all of its software products as open source, most are
+published under a BDS license. You can download them, not only from the
+NLnet Labs website but also through the various OS distributions for
+which NSD, ldns, and Unbound are packaged. We therefore have little idea
+who uses our software in production environments and have no direct ties
+with 'our customers'.
+
+Therefore, we ask you to contact us at users@NLnetLabs.nl and tell us
+whether you use one of our products in your production environment,
+what that environment looks like, and maybe even share some praise.
+We would like to refer to the fact that your organization is using our
+products. We will only do that if you explicitly allow us. In all other
+cases we will keep the information you share with us to ourselves.
+
+In addition to the moral support you can also support us
+financially. NLnet Labs is a recognized not-for-profit charity foundation
+that is chartered to develop open-source software and open-standards
+for the Internet. If you use our software to satisfaction please express
+that by giving us a donation. For small donations PayPal can be used. For
+larger and regular donations please contact us at users@NLnetLabs.nl. Also
+see http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/labs/contributors/.
