In some cases it can be easier for a company when another company
is involved because then there's someone who can deal with all
the accounts payable & international money transfer stuff that
would make my current CFO cringe.
The guys that run PostGIS are contributing $2000 themselves
and are willing to handle some of that paperwork for
companies that want it.

But yeah, in general I agree with Bruce that other than
corporate paperwork reasons I'd rather go directly (with something
like paypal) or through at least through the dev team.
