"Arthur T Knackerbracket" has found the following story:

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".

    You have no idea what I have done, assuming that I am the 'forum poster' that you are referring to.

    No, but I do know, as I've said 2 times now, that two fairly major DEs have done just as I said. You haven't offered anything to the contrary, other than some vague "any tool is good as long as you know how to use it" type talk.

      Actually I mentioned MATE very early on - but I feel that this discussion has reached its end. Thanks for the exchange of views.
