@Blender I don't usually throw my word around lightly, but as much as your fund policy states "Corporate donations don't imply alignment with their missions", this is a huge PR own-goal that will cost you a lot more in the long run.
I hope you reconsider your decision, because I personally (as an outsider) don't think it is worth it.

How many children need to have their brains blown out in order to pay for 2 blender developers?

@Blender I think I appreciate that. It would be nice to have some clarity. Can you point at the elephant in the room. Perhaps even at what's occurred in Iran, given Claude might have been involved there.
I do want you to get money to support blender. But this does not make me excited. Though I appreciate you've announced it openly.

@thibaultmol @UkeleleEric @eden @Blender So, legally speaking (EU tax laws vary, but seem to converge on this), *donations* cannot be based on reciprocity. A public statement thanking the donor is about as far as it can go, or the recipient is in hot water tax wise.
*Sponsorship* is not tax exempt, and can therefore include all the reciprocity the two parties can think of.
So whereas e.g. FOSDEM treats things one way, it does not follow that any other sponsorship has to follow the same rules.
