Donors to the FSF donate because they share the goals of the FSF.
I'm bemused by the notion that you find this peculiar. Stallman
is doing his best to assure that users of software have the right
to run, read, modify, and share it. In a world where digital
restrictions reach into many devices, he appears prescient, and
his concerns are now understandable by the lay public, not just
by programmers.
