The benefit is unknown and will probably be small. The Board has agreed
to it in secret, apparently to repay favours such as the Wikimania
sponsorship. They've given a single organisation preferential treatment,
which brings their motives into question: are they doing this to help
Wikipedia or Answers.com?
"apparently to repay favours such as the Wikimania sponsorship" -
absolutely false.
"a single organization preferential treatment" - absolutely false.
But, Jimbo, that's how people *are* viewing it, like it or not.
