KDE e.V. is announcing today it has received a donation of 200,000 USD from the Pineapple Fund.
With this donation, the Pineapple Fund recognizes that KDE as a community creates software which benefits the general public, advances the use of Free Software on all kinds of platforms, and protects users' privacy by putting first-class and easy to use tools in the hands of the people at zero cost. KDE joins a long list of prestigious charities, organizations and communities that the Pineapple Fund has so generously donated to.
"KDE is immensely grateful for this donation. We would like to express our deeply felt appreciation towards the Pineapple Fund for their generosity" said Lydia Pintscher, President of KDE e.V.. "We will use the funds to further our cause to make Free Software accessible to everyone and on all platforms. The money will help us realize our vision of creating a world in which everyone has control over their digital life and enjoys freedom and privacy".

Frankly it's clear they don't WANT technical users, they quite often go out of their way to antagonize us, to drive us off. They want people that don't know any better, that's their TARGET audience.
It's weird; what exactly is their motivation here? Do they really think they're going to attract a bunch of grandmas and soccer moms to Linux?

Their motivation is to destroy Gnome, from the inside-out.
