Microsoft has wrongly categorised a webpage that lets people donate cash to the Free Software Foundation (FSF) as being involved in gambling.

The mistake means the site is blocked by security tools Microsoft provides to many of its biggest customers.

The block emerged after a developer at one of those customers tried to donate cash to help the FSF's founder after he was mugged in Argentina.
