Check this out...

* 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

Er, say what?...

npm isnt hosted at joyent, npm isnt wrtten in node, its CouchDB, theres more details @ http://blog.nodejs.org/2013/11/26/npm-post-mortem/

Even if it were, not sure what the issue would be, npm is a public service that costs money to run, they are asking for money from people who use that service.
