Re: KDE and Google

"making KDE dependant on a large company is out of the question. Google being evil or not, it's just very stupid and against pretty much all KDE stands for."

Good thing KDE isn't dependent on TrollTech, and thusly Nokia, who has been repeatedly anti-OSS and anti-open-standards.

Good thing KDE doesn't have a financial board (oh wait, they do!), nor do they court companies to attain "Patron of KDE" status (oh wait, they do!)

"you don't understand how KDE works"

Pot, kettle, black.

You're somewhat mistaken here. While I agree with your concern on dependence on TT, it's important to point out that KDE e.V. is NOT KDE, and has no role in development. Hence, KDE does not have a financial board, only KDE e.V. does. Though the "patron of KDE" label is indeed inaccurate then.
