Please remove postinstall message about donating

See original GitHub issue

While I understand the need to ask for donations, having it as the postinstall message, to me, isn’t the most ideal location.

Downsides of having it there:

  • It clutters up server logs (it does not respect the --quiet flag
  • It is excessive (4 lines long)
  • It sets a bad precedent/example. If every package did this, there would be hundreds of these messages.

This type of message is better suited to be at the top of the repo (hint hint), in the readme file and on the website.

Well it is helpful, since you would do it only once for all projects using it, but yes you have to discover it and it should respect log level, I think they will be happy to merge a PR and JSS can switch to that script.
