I do still think it's inaccurate to say that the Gates Foundation donates Windows licenses. What they do is much more subtle than that. The software is actually donated by Microsoft. From that same link you provided:
Yeah, I was speaking way too loosely. I meant that so far, rather too much of what they do entrenches Microsoft. I expect this will change with time.
Anyway, point taken. The Gates Foundation is probably worse than Virgin Unite.
OTOH, if the Gates Foundation offered us cash, I'd say "PLEASE PLEASE TAKE IT!" as long as it didn't mean running Windows on the Squids!
