* Commercial PaaS hosting firm, nodejitsu, is asking for donations to pay (or help to pay) for the costs of running npm.
* Nodejitsu uses Joyent infrastructure to host npm and is a Joyent partner (http://www.joyent.com/partners/nodejitsu)
* Nodejitsu plan on using said funds to purchase additional resources at Joyent, where npm is currently hosted.
* Joyent own the trademark for Node.js
