Does Indiegogo use profits to go to open-source charities or is it a private business playing on good will with the title 'indie'.
Its fair. its clear. its a tool.
You have solved all the other problems in this world and you are bothering about indiegogo.com ethic!

Is there a threshold for proceeds to the Indiegogo organisation?

How about reading the damn article before you make a comment. They aren't donating out of the kindness of their hearts they're buying a mobile device.
