As many have been saying in the HackerNews thread ... a notable aspect of Vim and Bram was that it was basically a charity FOSS, taking revenue from ads and committing it back to charities, and asking for donations (see the official Vim website).

Anyone looking to commemorate Bram's passing might want to think about donating.
