The money donated to the DataMatrix.net project will be split up: 1/3 will go to the Austrian non-profit organization Vision without Frontiers, a group of ophthalmologists conducting eye surgery in third world countries; 1/3 will go to the developers of libdmtx, hence they provided a good basis for DataMatrix.net; 1/3 will go to the developers of DataMatrix.net
